(4) K-3 Mozart's life is presented as a puppet play being watched by a modern-day audience. Double-page spreads show delicate doll-like figures with white puppet strings attached to their limbs (Stanley's author's note explains that her inspiration was the Salzburg Marionette Theatre). The straightforward text is informative but doesn't gel with the theatrical element. This approach, though unique, contributes to a disjointed reading experience. Timeline. Bib.
