Meet classical composer Antonio Vivaldi in this charming semi-autobiographical tale. Travel through time following a charming little mouse named Minim who loves cheese and music. With great courage, he braves a cold Venetian winter night to visit an orphanage. His mission is to replace the tooth fairy by leaving a little gift under each child's pillow. Little does he know that this task is fraught with danger. A tomcat is lurking about in the building, always on the lookout for his next meal. Luckily, it’s also home to the great composer Antonio Vivaldi, whose music will prove irresistible! In addition to the illustrated story and introductory notes on the composer, an accompanying CD (and a unique digital download code) features recordings of the narrated story and the performances of the composition “Concerto for Winter” from The Four Seasons. A free teaching guide is available at www.thesecretmountain.com. Part of the Little Stories of Great Composers series, featuring Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Haydn, Schubert, and Paganini.

AnnieB
4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and adorable mouse narrated Vivaldi story
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2021
Some Creatures Have All the Luck! is a beautifully illustrated children's book and part of the Little Stories of Great Composers series. Due out 1st May 2021 from The Secret Mountain, it's 32 pages and will be available in hardcover, audio, and ebook formats.

This is a really cute story and this time the narrator/facilitator Minim (a cheese and music loving mouse) is in the home of Vivaldi and lamenting his misfortune to share the house with an unfriendly tomcat. As always, the costumes and details of the narrative are engaging and will provide lots of enjoyment for young readers.

The book also includes a QR code link to access some sound recordings to download digitally. This would make a superlative selection for public or school library acquisition, home library, or gifting. It would also be a nice choice for classroom or homeschool use.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
