(4) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Tavares. This tribute to the Irish-born Patrick S. Gilmore, called the "Father of the American Band" by Sousa, focuses on his 1869 National Peace Jubilee, a five-day concert in Boston featuring thousands of musicians and singers, as well as cannons, church bells, anvils, and more. The lengthy text grows repetitive; the soft-toned illustrations show panoramic views as well as more personal details. Bib.
