My First Classical Music Book is a delightfully colourful introduction to classical music, designed to fire the imagination of children aged 5-7 years. Readers are asked to think about the different places in which we might hear music.

"Classical music is much-embattled at school, but gets a lift-off from Naxos's excellent and timely My First Classical Music Book, which includes a CD with great pieces by Mozart, Beethoven, Handel and modern composers such as John Williams...the linking of simple text to CD tracks is helpful, and the cartoon s are good fun for 7-9s."
