America the Beautiful by Katharine Lee Bates and Wendell Minor - OPTIONAL

America the Beautiful by Katharine Lee Bates, illustrated by Wendell Minor. PICTURE BOOK. $19. 9781623541217


BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL


AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE


Wendell Minor has created brand new paintings for breath-taking sites around the United States to illustrate the words of Bates enduring poem.


Minor’s old-fashioned style of illustration lend a sense of timelessness to the book. The back matter talks about the writing of the poem and of the tune. Minor also includes info about each spot in the illustrations and a map of where they are. If you need a new picture book illustrating the song, then this is a worthy choice.
