A Delicious Taste of Mozzarella {Review}

In this volume of Little Stories of Great Composers, our guide, sweet little Minim mouse, introduces us to the works of Pyotr Tchaikovsky.  This delightful little mouse lets us know that he has two true loves in life: cheese and great music.  So when the children in his house start talking about Uncle Pyotr's visit, Minim is quickly interested.  It doesn't take him long to become enthralled with Uncle Pyotr as well once the composer plays for them.

This children's picture book is a great introduction to the world of classical music.  Our guide, Minim, is a sweet and lovable character with a funny personality.  He relates the story with quirky curiosity that many children would relate to.  The story is simple, but sweet, and the illustrations are beautiful.  The book also includes a code for downloading recordings of several of Tchaikovsky's compositions.  It's a wonderful way to have multiple resources in one place. A Delicious Taste of Mozzarella would make a fun book for children in the early years (up to age 8), or a fun introduction for composer study.
