BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), OPTIONAL, GIFT - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Another Broadway Alphabet Book! I love these so much! This time, it's all about the shows and what goes on backstage - but don't worry, there's still all sorts of stars and playwrights and composers and directors and everyone cleverly characterized by Peter Emmerich.
Another fun read with my theater friends trying to guess who everyone is - and we were almost always right! I loved the attention given to the support people, the costumers and wig makers, the ensemble, the understudies, and the national tours. A wonderful reference is included with 5 pages of mini bios and credit for all the people included in this fun picture book. I need to say, though, that this would be a much better gift for the adult or teen drama geek, than as a bedtime story for a 5 year-old. I hope to see more! Encore!!!!!
