Leonard Bernstein

School Library Journal

Gr 6 Up-This inspiring biography of the highly regarded American musician is easy to follow and interestingly written. Copious black-and-white photos of those who influenced the man complement the story. A comprehensive time line of Bernstein's life and information about becoming a conductor or a composer are appended. There are three lists of further reading that give books, Web sites, and related places to contact or visit: one for learning more about conductors, another about composers, and one about Bernstein.-Susan Shaver, Hemingford Public Schools, NE Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
