Description

Age range 5 to 9

He is no ordinary boy, sporting a white wig and elegantly dressed in red velvet, on his way to playing several concerts in the city. To the surprise of all, he proudly begins to play with his sister for the tired customs officer and gloomy dockworkers. The evening air begins to glisten and soon, everyone's faces are beaming, their ears ringing with music!

Included are introductory notes on the composer along with recordings of the narrated story and the composition 'The Little Night Music' ('Eine Kleine Nachtmusik'). A unique code for the digital download of the recordings is also included.
