Read this with my 7yo for school. I always loved the song and the pictures are beautiful. She asked me to read it again right after finishing it the first time. :-)
Stunningly beautiful artwork to accompany the lovely words of "America the Beautiful" by Katharine Lee Bates' great-great-grandnephew. See if you can read it without crying. I can't.
I loved the variety in the book. the different flavors of illustrations were fantastic. The quotes were cool, but they almost made the book too busy for me.
I loved the explanations of each illustration in the back. America is beautiful!

The poem of Katharine Bates illustrated by Wendall Minor. Beautiful paintings!
Everything about this book was special. The ten American artists and the illustrations they created. The ten chosen quotes from ten different presidents. The four pages of information at the end. As I teacher, the book SCREAMS mini-lessons. Art, history, language arts, social consciousness....I can even use some of these great quotes for handwriting assignments with meaning and verve. I splurged. I wonder whose brainstorm it was to put it together?
The mash-up of song lyrics, famous quotes, and illustrations from a variety of artists make an attractive book.
Beautiful illustrations. It's hard not to sing along with the words to the song. My little ones really wanted to know all about the pictures. It was a very engaging read. I also love how he explains the different illustrations in the back of the book.
Great combination of lyric, quote and illustration. The variety of illustration fro each artist is stunning and captures both elements of the text very well.
