BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS AND RIGHT TO THE POINT NARRATIVE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is quite an impressive work actually. The illustrations are very well executed and do catch the eye. They perfectly fit the story as it is being told. I liked the style. The narrative is quite to the point. I was impressed by this work as it pointed out certain flaws in Bowie's character and actions, as well as his many, many fine points and his contribution to our history. I like honest history and do not feel we can start teaching it too early. I use this book during our "read out loud" periods at the various school at which I teach. The story never fails to start a good discussion and brings on many questions, something I love. Overall, recommend this one highly.
