gouache και τέμπερες, ο βραβευμένος συγγραφέας και εικονογράφος δημιούργησε ένα πολύ όμορφο, πολύ χαρούμενο, γεμάτο ζωντανά και λαμπερά χρώματα σκηνικό, πάνω στο οποίο παιδιά από όλες τις φυλές παρατηρούν τον κόσμο μας.The Sam Cooke version was featured in the 1978 film Animal House and gained greater recognition in the UK upon a 1986 re-release when it peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, going gold (it had peaked at number 27 on the UK singles chart on first release in 1960). Herman's Hermits had a major hit in the mid-1960s with an uptempo version of the song (omitting one verse) which reached number one in Canada, [6] number four in the US, and number seven in the UK.

What a Wonderful World (Jean Karl Books (Hardcover))

But “What A Wonderful World” was very different from what he’d done before; a slow pop ballad that captured Armstrong in a rare reflective mood. We sing through this book together, Squirt and I, and always get stuck on the rainbow page, where he picks a colour and pretends to slide down the rainbow. The song was mainly composed by songwriting team Lou Adler and Herb Alpert, but Cooke revised the lyrics to mention the subject of education more. Cooke wanted to steer the song toward the subject of schooling, revised the song and decided to cut it at a recording session on March 2, 1959, five days after completing his Billie Holiday tribute album, Tribute to the Lady.

What A Wonderful World” was written in 1967 by George David Weiss together with George Douglas, an alias for Bob Thiele, Armstrong’s producer at ABC Records.

Luke also easily caught on to the repetition of the line "What a wonderful world" and especially enjoyed the page filled with hearts for the lyric "I love you. Used with Year 1's to create a short poem about a wonderful world (linking also with their topic and history on climate change/ activists).With a satisfying night-to-day-to-night cycle, the book not only reinforces the concepts of colors but also provides a sense of security of the way things are supposed to be in the world. Lou Adler and Herb Alpert composed the song with the theme that neither knowledge nor education can dictate feelings, but that love "could make the world a wonderful place". This one gets a lower rating only because it's based on an existing song and it's kinda hard to distance yourself from Louis Armstrong's voice as you read it.
