desertcart.com: The Animal Orchestra Plays Mozart: 9781474982153: Taplin, Sam, Jatkowska, Ag: Books Review: Beautiful, Fun, & Educational - 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! Review: Fantastic way to expose a toddler to classical music! - 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.

Fantastic way to expose a toddler to classical music!
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.

Beautiful artwork and selection of songs
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.

Plays enough to recognize the songs
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

Perfect for introducing little ones to classical music
Perfect gift for our 1 yr old grandson. He was obsessed! His favorite was the Mozart & he played it so much the button finally gave out. It has given him such a love for classical & watching the expressions on his face while listening is enough to bring tears.
