Reviews
As with Stanley's other biographical works, she manages a neat overview of her subject's life in surprisingly few pages; audiences will particularly appreciate her focus on Mozart the kid and the family that never quite forgave him for growing up and striking out of his town. -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
The staged effects, from the opening curtain to the suspended cherubs carrying footnotes, are well suited to the story who spent most of his life performing or composing. --School Library Journal
