"A precious glimpse into an important moment in history. It is a true love letter to Carnegie Hall, and should have a place on all shelves." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "The book documents this history while at the same time acknowledging the importance of musical education and Carnegie Hall's modern role in that pursuit. The digital illustrations enhance the text perfectly, capturing the grandeur of performances and the diversity of New York and its citizens. You'll be shouting 'Bravo!'" -- Kirkus Reviews "Hoyt pays tribute not just to the renowned violinist but to a unique cultural institution that has hosted many luminaries. Young readers will doubtless be left duly appreciative of both. Compelling." -- Booklist "In clear, engaging text, Hickey's finely detailed digital cartoons place Stern in the spotlight, capturing his ceaseless energy and stalwart efforts.
His message--'When you believe in something, you can move mountains!'--is a good one for children to hear, and this story is a great way to introduce the famous fiddler and his favorite performance venue to the next generation of music lovers." -- Horn Book Magazine.
