Arturo Toscanini, the son of poor tailors, astonished his second grade teacher when he played song after song on the piano just by listening and watching her play music. He had already impressed Signora Vernoni by reciting epic poems from memory, something she had never seen in her many years of teaching. She knew that her young pupil was destined for greatness and convinced his parents to send him to a music conservatory. Arturo won a scholarship to the prestigious school, taking his first step on the road to becoming a world famous conductor. This picture book biography details the early years of a fascinating prodigy, who was known for his perfection in interpreting musical scores and was called the "Einstein of music."

It is beautifully written in prose that children can understand, without being overly simplistic. The format – letters between Arturo and his parents and second-grade teacher – is unique and effective. It draws the reader into Arturo’s mind and world, bridging the nearly 150 years between our time and his. We get a sense of what it was like to be a student in nineteenth century Italy while also enjoying a timeless story of how sacrifice, hard work, and people who believed in him made a financially poor child realize his abundant wealth of talent. I read it to my very musical toddler (shortening some of the prose to match his attention span), and he adores it. The beautiful illustrations and the compelling story really keep his attention. I look forward to reading it to him as he gets older and can more fully enjoy the wonderful literary experience that is “Arturo Takes a Bow.” ~Marisa Cianciarulo

I can’t wait until my grandson is old enough to read and understand this delightful biography of Arturo Toscanini’s childhood and teenage years. The use of the epistolary method—in which the author tells the story in a series of letters between Arturo, his teachers and his family—works really well. This story of a teacher’s discovery that Toscanini is a musical prodigy and of the efforts that she and his very poor parents make to help him get a scholarship to the premier music school in Parma, Italy makes for a very uplifting book. At school, Arturo has trouble following the rules because he wants to play music all the time, even when it is not allowed. Finally, his genius is recognized and the rules are changed to permit Arturo and his fellow students to pursue their love of music. The illustrations are absolutely perfect. Highly recommend.

The reviews -- there were three -- were unanimous: the children loved the book! The text is easy to read and comprehend, and the story is compelling. The kids loved the format of telling the story through letters back and forth among the main characters. The illustrations complemented the text very nicely. But, here is the twist: I, and the parents of the children for whom the book was intended, enjoyed the story equally. I learned a good deal about Toscanini and the childhood of a great figure in the history of music, in a truly easy and engaging way. In short, this is not a children's book. It is a family book! A true find.
