Handel, Who Knew What He Liked by Kevin Hawkes, M.T. Anderson
5.0
Well, we borrowed this book from the library, renewed it twice (that's the allocation), borrowed it again (under another of the children's cards), renewed it twice, borrowed it again (ditto), and finally finished it. And no, it's not a big book. Not at all. And no, it isn't one of those books that you have to force-feed yourself to finish. On the contrary, we could have enjoyed it together (that's me and the 3 grandchildren) in one sitting. However, we wouldn't have learnt anything lasting if that had been the case.
So, what we did with this book was a great homeschool unit - we did history and geography and music appreciation and arithmetic and mapping and drawing and writing and virtual tours - and they "really liked Handel". And I got all that from finding this book quite by chance.
The book is written in an engaging style. It has enough about the personality of Handel to get children interested, and it has a lovely wealth of facts. We also enjoyed the illustrations.
