Wren and Rook ISBN 9781526362254 £14.99
A fascinating introduction to popular music history. There is information about important artists such as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, The Beatles and The Clash. Stylish illustrations capture the spirit of the performers. Facts are presented in accessible formats. The range is comprehensive with over 500 bands. The book is over 100 pages long with over 150 illustrations. I particularly like the final page – “THIS BOOK ENDS HERE, BUT THE MUSIC LIVES ON. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THE WORLD’S NEXT ROCK STAR COULD BE YOU! Recommended for children aged 9+, and for adults.
