(3) K-3 Illustrated by Timothy Bush. Young Johann Sebastian Bach believes he is the best organist in the world, but he's not. So he walks thirty miles to hear the greatest organist. Based on a story that may be true, the text is playful, presenting Bach as a talented youth who is also entirely self-centered. The accomplished watercolors show people who are slightly caricatured and settings that conscientiously depict seventeenth-century Germany.
