Bach's Big Adventure by Sallie Ketcham

I liked how this book began with an introduction of who Johann Sebastian Bach was. It gave the background knowledge of his life and what accomplishments he had. It is a long paragraph for some children to read, but if a teacher wanted to use this book as a read aloud in the classroom it would be a great introduction to get the children thinking about the book.
I loved how the text was creatively placed throughout the pages. Some pages had boarders around the text while some of the pages had bigger or different fonts.
I also really liked the illustrations throughout the book. Some pages had full page illustrations while other pages had illustrations around the text. My favorite page was the one with the illustration of the map of Europe. It gives the children a good sense of the setting of the story.
The story also has a good ending. Bach eventually finds that he is not the best organist in the world, but he accepts this and decides if he is patient someday he may be.
