Miranda Molina - Movie Musicals by Andrea Staskowski

Movie Musicals by Andrea Staskowski is a fantastic book about the history of movie musicals. The author starts with the establishment of movies and the phenomenon behind them. As technology developed and sound could now be added to motion pictures, movie directors tampered with the idea of musicals on film. It became a huge sensation which produced movie musicals such as Meet Me In St. Louis and stars such as Gene Kelly. This book’s detailed descriptions and engaging content prove it to be a wonderful children’s book. Though it is meant for more developed young readers, this book keeps students interested with its dazzling pictures from classic movie scenes and dance numbers. Also, it provides information on a music based topic that’s slightly more engaging than classical music or instruments.
