Schubert, Leda Listen: How Pete Seeger Got America
Singing. PICTURE BOOK. Pictures by Raul Colon. Roaring Brook, 2017. $18.
Pete Seeger sang his way through in order to buoy spirits
and impart messages. Seeger is the
epitome of the role of folk singer, if not the originator. Extremely popular in the 1960’s, he is
virtually unknown by children today.
This
narrative is rather sparse and more along the lines of a list of Seeger’s
songs. This would be perhaps useful as
an introduction to the 60’s, Pete Seeger, or folk singing. Other than that, however, it is not a
compelling read on its own. If you want a better book at Seeger, try Stand Upand Sing by Susanna Reich.
EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.
