Mister and Lady Day: Billie Holiday and the Dog Who Loved Her

Didn't know she even like dogs. Very good read for the child and you

I wanted to love this book. I love her music. My kids love reading about real people. However... midway through the book Lady goes away for a long time and it doesn't explain what's so important that the dog is abandoned... So naturally my first-grader reads the story in the back... Lady went to jail for drugs! ... (I didn't know that and I didn't read ahead of time).So now we read this story and my kids believe jail is a glamorous thing that stars do. When I try to explain that even good people do bad things sometimes and need to learn their lessons, my kids point out that it doesn't say that in the book, so I must be confused over the issue... ugh!!!Note to author... if you have to go there, why not explain and make a teaching point out of it? But if you are creating a story for elementary school kids and don't want to discus jail and drugs, please know that simply 'going away' will not do it for curious little minds!

sweet book for children. lovely illustrations.

Whimsical and entertaining

Pretty pics...not much story!!

My grandchildren love it and I love it too. Lady Day was quite a singer in the 40's. Her songs are still being played on the radio.

Very cute.

This book covers two ends of the spectrum - it's a good story for kids AND being a Billie fan, it's good for me. I like it.

Brilliant

Nice book, but the mail carrier slightly folded the package.
