The Animal Orchestra Plays Mozart

This was a birthday gift for a 2 year old, & she loved it! The illustrations are beautifully detailed, & there are lots of animals she already knows for her to find on every page. Once she's a little older, she'll be able to do the same with the different instruments. And when she's a bit older still, the composer's story will be of interest. The recordings are excellent ~ high quality orchestra music (& decent speakers, so it doesn't sound tinny), & they chose a good mix of instruments & tempos. Each piece is just long enough, & she wanted to listen to all of them, over & over. ("The End" got a quick "More!" almost every time we finished the book.) And, of course, having a "button" to push on each page is always a winner with toddlers. I like that there's an on/off switch on the back, & also that you can start/stop each tune w/ a push of the button on each page. Gives the kids a nice sense of agency, & also lets them hear as much (or as little) as they like of a given tune. We haven't had this book for long, but it's obviously high quality & appears to be very sturdy, so it should easily last through little brother's enjoyment when he's ready for it. Highly recommend, & I know we'll be looking for other books in this series!

Fabulous book! My grandson loves listening to the different selections of famous Mozart pieces. He can turn the book on and off and loves listening to the music while I tell stories about the animals in the pictures. The sound is excellent and the artwork is fantastic, with all the animals playing different instruments.

We are big fans of Usborne and I was so exited to see that they are now sold on Amazon. This book is beautiful and has a small bit of 6 different Mozart songs included. I purchased for my baby because we watch/listen to a lot of baby Einstein videos and she really likes the Mozart ones. Has some simple facts about the composer on each page along with beautifully illustrated animals and instruments. Very happy with this book.

The button is easy to push and the song plays for quite a while using an actual orchestra performing. The illustrations are so detailed for kids to look and see new details every time they look at the pages. Not too loud or long

Beautiful illustrations. Lovely tunes and a great way to introduce Mozart to the kiddos.

My one year old granddaughter loves this book! She loves to hunt for the button, the sound of the music, and the happy illustrations! She dances to the music. She is so young that in the beginning I needed to watch her so that she didn't tear the page. Up to this point, all the books at her level were cardboard. She reaches for this one almost every day!

I love the book for the differeent characters! I also like the choice of music but wish the clips of the music were a bit longer and louder! Overall. this is a book that my granddaughter can grow with! I also appreciate the quality and price point!

This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are colorful and full of animal characters playing instruments. The sound is clear and happy. My great grandson (2 years old) and I enjoy it. Makes me want to listen to more of Mozart. It’s a very sturdy book.

Belle illustrazioni, utile per avvicinare i bimbi al mondo della musica classica, ma adatto ai più piccoli, fino ai 6 anni va bene

My 3yo loves this book. High quality and well worth it!

Music stopped woking within a week. No return possible.

What a brilliant idea and a sure way to encourage children to love books. My 15 month old granddaughter just loves them

Mon enfant adore ! Superbe entrée en matière sur la musique classique et sur les instruments de musique !
