Discover the magic of Tchaikovsky's music as you press the buttons in this beautifully illustrated sound book. There are five of his most famous tunes to hear, including excerpts from Swan Lake, the piano concerto and the 1812 Overture. The animals also tell us a little bit about Tchaikovsky's life on each page, making this a perfect introduction to one of the greatest composers of all time.
Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire. Ag Jatkowska has been drawing and playing with colour ever since she can remember. She lives and works in the UK, illustrating books and greeting cards among other projects. Ag graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk (Poland) with an MA in Graphic Design and Illustration. In her spare time, she loves to discover new places and taking long walks with her husband and little son.
