Monday with the Wonderful Ones

Our book reviews today feature two African American authors.  Auna will write her review of Brown Angels An Album of Pictures and Verse.

Auna reports: Beautiful pages!   I love it.  It is a cute book.  Walter Dean Myers made it.  He found lots of pictures that are old.  He searched probably for a long time until he found more of them.  They were pretty cute pictures and the whole class liked them.  Some of them are babies.

Drake is commenting today on Carousel by Donald Crews.  This book has a simple text, but very powerful pictures.  The students could recall being on a merry-go-round or carousel and getting dizzy!    We have read several Donald Crews books to add to our Diversity Rocks! Challenge poster.

Drake reports: I thought Carousel was a cool book.  I liked the part where it went really fast.
