Vivaldi's Four Seasons

(4) K-3 Illustrated by JoAnn E. Kitchel. Priest Antonio Vivaldi teaches music to orphans in eighteenth-century Venice. When the orphanage's governors send him away, he remains inspired by the girls and eventually dedicates his most famous works to them. The historical story is enchanting, but Kitchel's flat watercolors are less so. An author's note separates fact from speculation, and a CD recording of The Four Seasons accompanies the book.
