I absolutely love this book, and the drawings are absolutely astounding. The book is a sweet song about children and the wonderful world that we live in. It also has diversity, and talks about the joys of the world. I would use this book for young children up until about kindergarten. The illustrations again are beautiful, and it is a great example of a poetry book for young children. ( )

Summary: This book is just based off the lyrics of the song “What a Wonderful World”. The pictures illustrate what’s happening in the lyrics of the song. I don’t know how to make this summary 3 sentences.
Opinion: I think it’s great because it exposes kids to music. I’d like to find more books like this. Different other songs would be cool, maybe I’ll write some! ( )

This is the illustrated book of the song "what a wonderful world". It shows trees of green and red roses too! It has the lyrics of the song alongside each illustration.

I listened to this book along with the song and it was just perfect! Super colorful and fun illustrations to go along with a beautiful song. Can't to do this for my kids!

Picture book. This book is about slowing down and enjoying everything around you. It is trying to tell you that the worlds is a wonderful place and no matter what we are going through we need to slow down and enjoy it.Next time you find yourself stressing over your job or work just take a breath and look at all the amazing things around you.

What a Wonderful World is the Illustrated lyrics to the song by Louis Armstrong. You can present the book by presenting the book with the song, because the book follows the exact lyrics of the song.

I love how just presenting these illustrations with a song people may already know can help them to dig deeper and find more meaning in the words they may have sung along with absentmindedly. Its a song with a lot of meaning and hope, and it makes a wonderful book.
