"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS -- Michael Jackson: Music Legend

Salvatore's Pick:  Michael Jackson:  Music Legend, by Sarah Tieck

Synopsis:
Colorful graphics, oversized photographs, and short, engaging sentences draw reluctant readers in to the fascinating life of Michael Jackson! This book introduces readers to Jackson s childhood, family, and rise to fame. From singing and dancing with his siblings in the Jackson 5 to achieving a groundbreaking solo career, Jackson became a legend after his death in 2009. Readers will learn how Jackson worked to develop his own musical style and create signature dance moves such as the Moonwalk, leading to his lasting impact on pop music for generations to come. Features include a table of contents, maps, "Did You Know" fun facts, a "Snapshot" page with vital information, a glossary with phonetics, and an index. (Barnes and Noble summary)

Salvatore says:  I like it because he's my favorite singer, dancer in pop history.  Plus I know everything about Michael Joseph Jackson.
