What a fabulous book! Young readers (and those adults reading to them) will be transported to the world of the opera. Join some very cultured dogs and cats who attend Mozart's "The Magic Flute."
This gorgeous, glorious book has interactive buttons of opera sounds for readers to listen to and learn opera singing voices and singing groups. Each button activates the overture, the flute, the trio, bass, soprano, baritone, tenor, and other parts of the opera.
As kids read, each voice is described in the story as well as the plot of Mozart's The Magic Flute. Pages follow the story about Mozart, singing, definitions of opera terms, the cast of characters and the singers who played them and a list of the musicians who performed.
Simply ethereal, Welcome To the Opera is the best non-fiction picture book of the year! A must have for every library, music class and child's book shelf.
Highly, highly recommended. This little gem will win major awards this year. The publication date is perfect for most awards contests. The October publication date insures readers and judges will remember this book just in time to award it.
