A PICTURE BOOK OF ROSA PARKS

Do you wish you had more time to read to your child? Check out these book/tape combinations by Live Oak Media. The Picture Book Biography series includes the lives of George Washington, Helen Keller and Jesse Owens. This volume is the story of Rosa Parks, who helped spark the Civil Rights movement by keeping her seat on a Montgomery bus. One side plays the narration straight through, while the other includes "page-turn" signals so nonreaders can follow along. The performance, like the text, is simple, direct and clear. However, if you prefer a warm, intimate, personal delivery, you won't find it here. The voice, like Adler's text, sticks to the facts. S.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 99]
