Reviews
"What a wonderfully fantastic adventure! Not only to we meet a fierce pirate but also discover some beautiful music that is hauntingly magnificent. Children should be exposed to more of the classics but this is a great start that will hopefully wet their appetite to listen to all famous composers. And children should be allowed to let their imaginations soar!" - Plattekill Public Library "An educational picture book that combines the power of imagination, along with the excerpts of Beethoven's most famous pieces. Sofia closes her eyes every night and is magically transported to a different adventure. Tonight's adventure is Captain Sofia, the bravest and most terrifying of all pirates in the seven seas. Each page offers a glimpse into another step of her pirate adventure, along with one of Beethoven's musical excerpts to build the emotion and power of the story. She faces another pirate, a sea monster, and even a mermaid on her quest for treasure. There are additional pages included after the story to highlight the life of Ludwig van Beethoven and the final page allows the reader to see all of the selected music in one piece, along with the name. A wonderful choice to instill the love and wonder of music, along with the power of imagination. " - Birchard Public Library of Sandusky County "This is a lovely story about a dreaming who has big imagination. She does incredible and empowering actions that remind young children of simple solutions to solve problems and also realize when we do bad things. " - Yuma County Library District
