Title: Excellent Book for All Ages
Review: This book was required for my Children's Literature class. Just about everyone in my class liked this book, and their ages range from 18 years old to 60+.I liked all of the poems. This story would have been excellent if it wasn't in poetic prose, but the style Hess used enabled the story to be told in fewer words that had more meaning.Another reason I liked the poetic prose is because there was a definite rhythm! It made me feel that Billy Jo was telling us her story through piano playing. Some of her songs were happy, and some were sad.LUCKILY, this is one story that Disney will never try to make a movie out of.I recommend this book for older children up through adult.
