Looking at just the biographical material, I have seen older children's book that provided more details (this is written for adults). If one is looking to understand how Mozart created his compositions, I would recommend this title.

Mozart: A Life by Paul Johnson
Mozart: A Life by Paul Johnson - 176 pages
Mozart: A Life is less a biography of Mozart, as the title says, than it is a biography of the works of Mozart. The book was light on Mozart's personal life, providing only what a reader needed to know to interpret the rest. The bulk majority of the work discussed Mozart's compositions and their orchestration, requiring the need to know musical terminology.
