Some Creatures Have All The Luck! {Review}


In this volume of the Little Stories of Great Composers series, our little cheese and music loving, Minim, is tasked with collecting lost teeth.  While on his mission, he encounters a hungry tomcat looking for a tasty treat.  Luckily his mission is successful, but on his way out, Minim, happens to come upon music practice conducted by composer Vivaldi.  He happens to see the cat contentedly listening and laments "Some creatures have all the luck!"

This delightful series of picture books introduces young readers to famous composers.  Sweet little Minim is the perfect blend of curiosity and insightfulness, perfect for little ones to relate to.  The highlight of this picture book is definitely the narrator and the illustrations.  The story gives introductory information about the composer, but of the three books in this series, this one was my least favorite.  Vivaldi isn't introduced until the very end of the story and the story was much more about Minim and the cat.  However, as an additional highlight, this book does include a code for downloading some of Vivaldi's work to delight the reader.  Some Creatures Have All The Luck is part of a cute series, but this particular title wasn't my favorite.
