(4) K-3 Getting to Know the World's Greatest Composers series. This simply told biography recounts the life of the "March King," from his days as leader of the U.S. Marine Band to his later fame as a composer of stirring patriotic music. A colloquial tone and tongue-in-cheek cartoon illustrations give the book an accessible, if often silly quality; historical photographs of Sousa, his bands, and his sheet music compositions are included.
