If you like books, cats and/ or classical musicthis is a post for you.
Last night I read my favourite children's book to my son.
There's this series of books with stories inspired by classical music.
We've got 'Swan Lake', 'The Nutcracker' and
'The Four Seasons' and there's a CD with each book.
The story in 'The Four Seasons' book was written by Marco Simsa
and there's a CD with Vivaldi's masterpiece.
I tried to find an English edition on the internet for you, but failed.
Sorry!
In this story, we meet Minca, a little cat, and read about her life in her village through the changes of the four seasons with an emphasis on the sounds she hears.
Son and I both love it! We've been reading it since he was two, and now he can continue telling the story (the exact words) if I stop reading.
The illustrations are fabulous, don't you think?
The ones I chose to show you are -of course- from spring.
And now I'll let you enjoy the music.

What a great post, Yiota !
About 3 years ago, we took Helena to the theatre to watch 'The Nutcracker' ballet and she fell in love for the performance and the tale, as well !
Have an inspiring weekend ! God bless you and your family :)

Oh, that book! The paintings are incredible. So happy making. Especially the one of the cat in a basket. I LOVE it!
Hi Yiota,
What magical illustrations. I especially love the first two pictures. What a brilliant idea to create a book that works perfectly with such a beautiful piece of music. I do feel perfectly revitalized after listening to that. What a great way to start the day. Thank you.
Hope that your day is off to a beautiful start as well!
