Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

The paintings in this book are the images that come to my mind when I sing "America the Beautiful." I think about all the beautiful places I have visited in my travels across the United States: I think about the poem's timeless message, and how it reminds me of America's history and those who have contributed to America's greatness. It is my sincerest wish that Katharine Lee Bates's words and my paintings will serve as a reminder to children and parents of America's gifts. May you always enjoy her natural beauty and help preserve it. May you feel her pride of spirit, and may you make your own contribution to keep America great!

"Wendell Minor has created covers for a shelf of classic American literature....He invests them with interest, with story, in a way few artists can....It is one of his greatest gifts."

Reseña del editor:

Presents beautiful illustrations that capture the natural diversity and proud history of America, such as the accomplishment of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, the enormous skyscrapers of New York, the colors of the Everglades of Florida, and beyond. Reprint.
