librarybonanza 's review for:
Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky
by Faith Ringgold
Age: Kindergarten to third grade
Media: Fabric
Style: expressionistic characters with impressionist backgrounds
Thoughts: This story contains much movement, avoids stereotypes, has an obvious climax and resolution, and matches the age audience it is intended towards. Even with these in mind, this book seems too rushed without much development of the protagonist. She is seen more as a plot device than a fully developed character. The static expressions on the characters' faces deter from the connection between the story and the illustrations.
