Hörkassette, [EAN: 9780874996395], Live Oak Media, Live Oak Media, Book, [PU: Live Oak Media], Live Oak Media, Chris Raschka--whose beautiful, brilliant tributes to jazz legends in Mysterious Thelonious and Charlie Parker Played Be Bop are not to be missed--pays tribute to another slice of American music history with this lovely celebration of a traditional Shaker hymn. "'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free, 'tis the gift to come down where we ought to be," lilts the hymn. And Raschka translates its gentle movement to the page, scripting the lyrics in what appears to be (simply) black crayon against a band of soothing color at the top or bottom of each spread. The rest of each page is awash in warm tones and heavy strokes, depicting a cat, a bird, a squirrel, and a turtle in the abstract, primitive style of Paul Klee. In explaining how he so expertly translates music to the printed page, Raschka has said that he tries to "stick to the form of the music and let the music dictate the form of the book." Indeed. With Simple Gifts, Raschka offers readers the simple yet powerful gift of experiencing music as color, movement, and graceful pages. (Ages 4 to 8, but makes a fine addition to any grownup's favorite book collection) --Brangien Davis, 62060011, Tiere, 62062011, Affen, 62061011, Alligatoren & Krokodile, 62065011, Bären, 1323099031, Dinosaurier, 1323100031, Elefanten, 62140011, Enten & Wasservögel, 62092011, Fische, 62099011, Frösche & Kröten, 1323101031, Füchse & Wölfe, 62127011, Hasen & Kaninchen, 62121011, Haustiere, 62081011, Hunde, 62077011, Katzen, 62073011, Käfer & Spinnen, 62108011, Löwen, Tiger & Leoparden, 1323103031, Mäuse, Hamster, Meerschweinchen & Eichhörnchen, 62103011, Pferde, 62131011, Reptilien & Amphibien, 62135011, Schildkröten, 62124011, Schweine, 62111011, Säugetiere, 62089011, Tiere auf dem Bauernhof, 1323102031, Unterwasserwelt, 62069011, Vögel, 62136011, Wale, 62137011, Zoo, 61180011, Kinderbücher, 54071011, Genres, 52044011, Fremdsprachige Bücher, 208618031, 4 - 8 Jahre, 208616031, Age Range (age_range), 366250011, Refinements, 52044011, Fremdsprachige Bücher, 208625031, Hörkassette, 310998031, Hörbuch, 208621031, Format (binding_browse-bin), 366250011, Refinements, 52044011, Fremdsprachige Bücher, 672862031, Christopher Raschka, 672776031, author 54, 535166031, Authors (lbr_books_authors_browse-bin), 567318031, Books, 325620031, Refinements<
