Tortoni Tremolo: The Cursed Musician
Hardcover
(Diane Pub Co July 30, 1998)
In this wonderful children's book, Tortoni Tremolo is a gifted musician whose neighbor, a fortune teller, prefers TV to the strains of Mozart coming from next door. She puts a curse on Tortoni that makes his instruments fill with musical notes as he plays. Tortoni despairs until he discovers that the notes can be eaten -- & every piece of music he plays has a flavor all its own. When he goes into business producing great music for people to eat, he becomes a national celebrity. Then something truly incredible happens that makes the witch reconsider her curse & shows the world a life beyond the unrelenting din of TV. Author & illustrator Tomi Ungerer won the Hans Christian Andersen Award for illustration for his lifetime contributions to children's literature.
