What a Wonderful World (Jean Karl Books)

A very well illustrated book that shows different thing around the world and a way to see them in a good manner.

What simpler way could there be to express to children the beauty and the harmony in the world around them than through the lyrics of this song by George David Weiss and Bob Thiele, made famous by the great Louis Armstrong? And what better visual accompaniment than the bright colorful artwork by award-winning Ashley Bryan depicting children of many backgrounds (and Louis Armstrong himself) performing a puppet show that brings the lyrics to life. Here is a book of brightness, wonder, and hope to be shared by all. (amazon)

This is a biography about Louis Armstrong, a famous jazz musician from New Orleans. This book tells about his life and career. ( )

Featuring the lyrics to What a Wonderful World, the pictures illustrate people from different cultures celebrating life all over the world.

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. ( )
