I bought this book so my 8 year old daughter could read about Beethoven as she started playing some of his music. There is a lot of content in the book and it was easy to read. The problem is that there are a LOT of typos and grammatical errors in the book. I mean a LOT!! My favorite was "Being dead did not stop him in the slightest from recovering quickly and going on with his music." I am pretty sure they meant being "deaf", not "dead", otherwise it's a miracle. The book is full of things like this or missing words. I do not believe it was edited before print. I did give it 3 stars because it had content. I take pride in providing honest reviews because I personally use reviews for most of the items I buy. Please rate this review as helpful if it provided any information that allowed you to make your decision to buy this product or not.

I am an adult and I love it. Searching for classical music appreciation for preschooler. This one is more for school kids but I love reading it so much I have to give it a review. It does helps me to understand more why Beethoven is great. Most of adult don't understand it either. The fact this is written in easy words for children makes it easy to fallow. Every parents should read this book.

This book was not edited at all! There are typos, missing words, and many incorrect words. I am a teacher and bought this book for a student to do research to write a biography. This is not the type of book I would share with a student. I was able to interpret the meaning but a young reader would struggle with it. Especially when Beethoven's name was substituted with Bach! If you are looking for a child friendly biography on Beethoven, try Getting to Know the World's Greatest Composers.

My plan was to give this gift to a child. When it arrived I read the first few pages just to make sure I was giving a well written book. I was extremely disappointed. The facts may be accurate but the English language (syntax) is poor. I do recommend the "Who Was" series of biographies instead. They offer "Who was Mozart," and many other choices.
