Title: Carol Of The Brown King : Nativity Poems by Ashley Bryan, Langston Hughes ISBN: 0-689-81877-7 Publisher: Atheneum Pub. Date: 01 October, 1998 Format: School & Library Binding Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.00 |

Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent introduction to poetry of Hughes
Comment: This book features poetry of Hughes for children. The poetry carefully uses language geared for children, uses repetition more than images. This results in text that conveys to children as much the careful, artful use of language as "fine poetry". The illustrations by Bryan are a superb counterpoint to the text - again geared intentional towards children - but showing excellent use of color and a realism appealing to adults.
This book succeeds in being truly for children without being sacchrine or insulting. Don't think of this as an "ethnic" book, it is far too good to be marginalized.
Rating: 5
Summary: Poetically and spiritually moving;a must for any library
Comment: This book not only captures the beauty of Langston Hughes for young readers but also portrays the beauty of African Heritage within the powerful meaning of the story of Christ's birth. I ended up buying two copies on my first round because it was such a wonderful piece of work for both chidren and adults!
