5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS, March 22, 2005

By	Terrence Thompson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book for my 3 God-children and they all loved it. The lyrics are informative and detailed for each African American hero listed, yet they can be understood by children from ages 3-15. The art work is beautiful. It reminds me of some of the great murals you might see on the side of city buildings. The colors are bright and jump off the page. I can vision a teacher reading this book to their class during story time and having all the kids attention. Overall a great book.

A Kid's Review

My daughter who is 11months old and I truly enjoy reading this book. She loves the eye-popping colors of the pictures and the rhymes, while I love the information provided (I learned something new when I read it the first time). Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars ABC's of Black History, March 17, 2005

By	Kimberly Turner - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My children (ages 5 and 1 1/2), and I love this book! Rarely has someone so consisely related African American History to children. It is easy to read and remember. The colors and artwork are appealing to children. I can't wait until the next ABC book comes out.
