(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jana Christy. Seven concentrates on Sinatra's formative years in Hoboken--where Frankie's mother, who supported his early passion for singing, lined up gigs for him around town--and concludes with Sinatra's radio and film successes. A well-paced narrative and energetic illustrations with warm color washes convey Sinatra's unique appeal: "Frankie's voice was like a reassuring pat on the back." An author's note includes song suggestions. Bib.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
