Smile: How Young Charlie Chaplin Taught the World to Laugh (and Cry) by Gary Golio

5.0

Older picture book readers will love the introduction to a magical man who became a cinematic icon. Those reading the story aloud will delight in some of the pages formatted like a frame of text from a silent film. The illustrations are fantastic. And the Little Tramp in the lower corner of each page will dance toward you if you flip the pages fast enough!

For me personally, the book provided just enough information to get me interested in learning more. Luckily the book provides an afterward with facts of Charlie Chaplin’s life – and, when that proved to still not be enough, there is list of resources and selected books & movies.
