A tender and playful glimpse at the childhood of the world's greatest musical genius. PUBLICATION IN 1 VOLUME - COMPLETED WORK. For now known as Wolferl, little Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lives only for music -- and he already knows how to appreciate it in all its forms, even the most unexpected. The young virtuoso is looking for -- and finding! -- inspiration wherever it hides, even in the cries of Nannerl, his sister, or the poop of his dog. He takes lessons from the birds, crickets and frogs, intertwining every note into his great masterpieces. A charming tale, riddled with good humor and poetry. This book resonates with music lovers of all ages!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4-7-The world is made of music to young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Every sound he hears has the potential for melody, every surface exists as a place for him to jot down musical notes, and every object-living or inanimate-is an audience. Based on events from Mozart's childhood, these musical capers are charming and funny. Mozart may have been a genius, but he was also a child, and readers will laugh out loud at his clever commentary while gleefully relating to the quirky life lessons sprinkled throughout the book. The volume is broken into brief comic strips, each with a title set against a musical staff. The characters are vibrant, seemingly always in motion, with big heads that humorously show off the period wigs. The subdued full-color panels have an antique quality that reflects the setting beautifully while offering a welcome contrast to the characters' movement and mischief. Appended is "Young Mozart's Playbook," a section with games and puzzles with more information about the young musical legend. VERDICT Children who appreciate music will enjoy this spirited look at an impish young Mozart, and readers of all ages will fall in love with his wonderful combination of wit and insight.-Kelley Gile, Cheshire Public Library, CTα(c) Copyright 2011.
