When the richest dude in town can't sleep, he hires a much-less-rich dude named Johann Gottlieb Goldberg to play him lullabies on the harpsichord. Goldberg does an OK job, but as the Rich Dude hollers for Goldberg each night, he wakes up the whole town in the process. As the town gets sleepier and sleepier and grumpier and grumpier, Goldberg worries he may be out of a job soon. But then, the one and only Bach enters the scene with a series of lullabies composed specifically for the Rich Dude. And, thus, the Goldberg Variations are born! This zany, nontraditional nonfiction picture book comes from the inimitable Tom Angleberger, author of the bestselling Origami Yoda series.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] playful account of how Johann Sebastian Bach may have come to compose the Goldberg Variations."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"B?road, simply drawn, loudly colored cartoon scenes . . . provide worthy accompaniment for the high-volume, exclamation-strewn narrative."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Tom Angleberger</b> is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Origami Yoda series and the Flytrap Files series, as well as many other books for kids.
