Praise

“Playing to younger audiences and broad enough to include riffs on the Mesopotamian oud, central Asian tanbur, and the nyatiti…Houran traces the guitar’s development. Nods to inventors from Antonio de Torres Jurado to George Beauchamp as well as a labeled diagram of parts and a cutaway view of an acoustic body offer…specifics about how basic guitar design evolved.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Aimed at kids in early elementary grades, these brief titles trace the development of an object or concept through history, from very early examples to modern-day iterations…[B]oth books employ straightforward, accessible language and detailed illustrations that feature diverse casts of individuals enjoying the cited examples in addition to supporting technical descriptions…both titles do an effective job of introducing their subjects and encouraging kids’ curiosity.” —Booklist on Guitar and Wind Power
