- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Great artwork, nice rhyming scheme and good historical notes at the end made me happy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Love this walk back in time to what Sugar Hill once was and the people that lived there. Great history that shows the wide range of black americans who contributed in important ways to arts, music, and science. The illustrations are fun and it would be a great way to get kids to look at the idea of community and neighborhoods.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a fun, entertaining book that I thoroughly enjoyed. The main message of this book is to inform children of the wonderful old historic neighborhood, Harlem. It also provides great inside into a different culture. I liked this book because of the rhyming words. For example one page stated," Sugar hill, sugar hill where life if sweet and the Nicholas brothers rest their feet." Rhyming words are a fun way to read and are also great for emerging readers. I also liked the illustrations. They were big, fun pictures. This made the story really come to life and the reader is able to really imagine what life if like in Harlem. The one thing I did not like about the book was the way the author set up the words. One page the words would be in several different fonts and all over the place. Some words would be going diagonal, vertical, and squiggly. This could make it really difficult for children to follow and read.
