“Peter Tchaikovsky” was a funny and informative book. What I liked best was the cartoons that went along with the story, it made the book more fun. In one cartoon, Peter Tchaikovsky was discussing that his song was so sad because he wrote it after dropping his ice cream. This cartoon went along

with text that explained most of his compositions were sad. Not only did the book include cartoons to make the biography interesting, it was full of interesting facts. For example, Peter Tchaikovsky was once paid by a very wealthy woman to write music, as long as they never met. When reading a lot of information at once, strange facts break up the information overload and also tend to be the most memorable. The main idea of the story was to explain the life of Peter Tchaikovsky.
