Author/Illustrator Mike Venezia has been getting to know the world's greatest composers for as long as he can remember. A graduate of The School of Art Institute of Chicago, Mike believes the best way to introduce children to music and composers is through fun. If children can learn about music in a fun way, and think of composers as real people, the exciting world of music will be open to them for the rest of their lives. Unlike John Philip Sousa's, Mike's band career ended abruptly after his first day of practice. Misunderstanding his junior-high-school band teacher, Mike grabbed a telephone from the instrument closet rather than the Sousaphone that he had been instructed to play. Fascinating dialogue and humorous illustrations make this book interesting and informative.
