(by Anna H. Celenza/illus. by JoAnn E. Kitchel, Charlesbridge $19.95 Score:
) Papa Haydn and his musicians are busy playing and working at Prince Nicholas' summer palace. But when their seemingly endless separation from their families stretches from summer into fall, Haydn has a plan. Based on Haydn's diaries, this charming story explains how his Symphony No. 45 really was a farewell opus! Age: Early School Years,Later School Years. Award Year: 2001.
2001 Awards
(Listening Library $30 Score:
) Taking a long trip? Don't leave home without at least one of these eight-hour cassette or CD sets of all four Harry Potter books. Jim Dale's narration will captivate and entertain the whole family. We tried these out with a carful of Potter fans who were skeptical about how the different characters would be treated. Dale uses a delicious mix of voices that adds much to the enjoyment of listening to a familiar story.
