Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2--8--These titles offer a brief overview of each musical genre and profiles of selected artists performing in that genre. Organized chronologically, each book has a table of contents, a glossary (featuring boldface words from the text), and an index. The musician profiles cover different decades of the 20th and 21st centuries and feature artists young people will recognize. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of representation of people of color and women in some of the genres. Clear black-and-white and color photographs fill the pages of these books. Photo credits are listed on the Cataloging in Publication (CIP) page, but there are no captions, which greatly limits the educational and research potential for these titles. A bibliography is not listed, but a QR code to a site with vetted resources is provided. VERDICT Libraries should seek other titles that provide more inclusive music histories and captioned photographs.
