      You found your voice as a poet in 1973, a time when a lot of Americans found theirs. How much was that a factor? I didn’t set out to be a writer. I was shy, quiet, and I loved art because I didn’t have to speak with anyone. At one point, my spirit sa

      This is an audiobook of the song "what a wonderful world". I already liked the song, and the picture book went along with it quite well. It tells a story of how great life really is if you take the time to appreciate it.

      Age: PrimaryReview: This book belongs to the poetry genre because the text/lyrics make readers feel good about our lives. The text conveys positive and bright images. Media: watercolor

      The author speaks of what he sees. He speaks of the ways things appear such as the day or night. He tells us how the world appears to him such as the flowers blooming, the rainbow in the sky and the colors of the dreams. The author admires the world around him and the illustrator depicts the things that the author is singing about. There are pictures of the stars in the sky and the colors in the rainbow, as well as babies that he sings about crying. The author demonstrates his love for the world he live in by singing about it.

      This is a beautiful book! I loved how the author was able to take the words to the song and set them into the book. I especially loved the illustrations. They were very realistic, while also being very bright and cheerful. My favorite part is how I can now only picture this book when I hear the song. The main theme of the book is how the world is a beautiful place and we should not waste our time on Earth looking at the negativity.

      I dare you to read this without singing the song. Nice telling of the song. It made me think of the good things in this world.
    • 5/5
       This book depicts what a wonderful world we live in, full of diversity and color. It shows us about how people come together to create a puppet show resembling the world around us. This book is full of great pictures that show how we fail to appreciate what is all around us. We just need to stop for a second and look. We live in a wonderful world, lets appreciate all it offers us.

      This bright and colorful book is full of optimism and joy. It depicts children from around the world coming together to create a beautiful multicultural puppet show. It leaves a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
    • 2/5
      This book is of poor quality. It's basically just an illustrated version of the Louis Armstrong song. There's really no plot; it's just the song lyrics. There's sort of celebration of diversity in that children of different races are together in the illustrations, but that's about it. The redeeming quality of this book is the illustrations.
    • 5/5
      This book is the same thing as the song, "What a Wonderful World." The pictures show the puppet show going on, while the lines to the song are shown on each page.

      The idea of this story is to remember that there are good things in this world too. Some people are very quick to look at all of the bad things happen, and sometimes it’s good to just sit and take in all of the beauty. I think that this is a wonderful children’s book! First the illustrations drastically enhance the story. The colors are very bright and vibrant. The pictures are engaging because they include people of all different backgrounds. I like that all of the pictures are of familiar things to the reader such as farm animals, flowers, and stars. The book is very lyrical because they are the song lyrics from the song Wonderful World. The reader could even sing the song as they went through the pages and make connections between the lyrics and the real world. One page said , “The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky are also the faces of people going by.” The illustration drew a vivid image of the rainbow, and then another rainbow of people of all different ethnicities in front of it.
