Star: The Bird Who Inspired Mozart by Mireille Messier, Matte Stephens
4.0
lighthearted slow-paced

 
This is based on a true story of Mozart and his pet bird.  Turns out this bird was a regular, common starling. But this bird could carry a tune and Mozart fell in love with it and it fell in love with Mozart. The story is simple and one I think that kids would appreciate. The artwork I like, but at times it’s a little odd. I do love how the author plays with color. Overall this is a nice read and a nice story of Mozart but not one that’s truly memorable.
