My 6 Year Old Checked This Book out of the Library 4x
Each library visit, my daughter, Imani(age 6), finds this book and insists I read it to her. So, today I ordered it for her birthday. I think Imani loves the book for a number of reasons: 1) Understanding a glimpse of mortality and the notion that a baby could die is right at my 6 year old's emotional growing edge. These subjects are rare to find in a children's book. 2) The author ...

Right after he got there the British attacted, and Washinton lead his men in the Revolutuonary War. One night they camped at the freezing Valley Forge just miles away from the British army.

Duke Ellington: Giant of Jazz (African-American Biographies)

Duke Ellington by Wendie Old
Author does not appear to have a solid research background on Duke Ellington. Two photos were mis-titled. The majority of her bibliography refers to Kent Smith's book (1993) and a few 1993 periodicals. If the books or periodicals were published over 20 years after Duke Ellington's death (1974), you can be sure that the data reflects alterations and errors repeatedly made by other biographers.
