Big Fan of this book!,
This review is from: John Philip Sousa: The March King (Rookie Biographies) (Paperback)
I am an elementary Music teacher and have read Ms. Greene's biography of the great JPS to my 2nd graders for the past 16 years. It is chock-full of wonderful photographs and concisely-written information about his life, his music, and his times. My students love hearing about him running out in the rain, angry because his mother wouldn't let him have more doughnuts, about how he unwittingly signed himself up for the Marines after planning to run away with the circus. The personal photographs of him with his dogs, horse named Charlie, and of his funeral are quite moving and show the "real man" behind the Marches. After reading it to my students, I have them color his portrait while listening to his music. They love this book and retain the information as a result. Bravo, Ms. Greene. My only problem: My paperback copy is falling apart, and, being a public school teacher, I can't quite afford the huge replacement prices I currently see on this site!!! I guess I'll keep reading my poor beat-up copy until I win the Lotto (if I ever play, that is).

This review is from: John Philip Sousa: The March King (Rookie Biographies) (Paperback)
This book was easy to read with good pictures. Very understandable. I was able to find this book in my school library (it was the only one!). I would recommend this book to kids my age that need it (I am 11 years old).
