Summary: Great book on Marian Anderson
Comment: This is a terrific book. It combines moderately large type with clear writing and lots of well-chosen photographs in telling the life story of Marian Anderson. Complex ideas such as segregation are conveyed in a direct and understandable manner.
I believe this is a better book than _When Marian Sang_, which has beautiful artwork, but has an inadequate text -- at the same time being too complex and too narrow.
This revised version of _Marian Anderson: A Great Singer_ would be appropriate for elementary students, and for anyone who would like a quick and thorough review of Ms. Anderson's life, together with over twenty well-chosen photographs, and a timeline, vocabulary, and list of additional resources.

Summary: Marian Anderson a Great Singer
Comment: This is a well written biography with great photographs. The story follows Marian's life from childhood through her retirement in 1965. The writers gently lead us through the injustices and triumphs Marian encountered during her life and career as one of our nations great musical treasures.
The reading level is appropriate for grades 2 through 5. A timeline, glossary, and references for more information are also included. The internet addresses include some wonderful samples of Marian's singing.
I can't wait to share this story with my kindergarten through fifth grade music classes. I know they will positively love it!
