This story blends fact and fiction in telling the story of Anton Dvorak writing the American Symphony. Unfortunately, this is too long and wordy for my preschool story time group, but the illustrations are fabulous and the story is a lot of fun. Recommended for groups K-2 or for one-on-one reading

with preschoolers. A great follow up would be to listen to a bit of the American Symphony. :)
