Blowin’ in the Wind by Bob Dylan and Jon J Muth {Book review}

Blowin’ in the Wind

We all know the song “Blowing’ in the wind” by Bob Dylan and if you are anything like me, you are probly now sinning the song. It’s such a beautiful song with a lot of meaning. It’s no secret that he sold millions and this song, yet recorded in the 60’s is just as meaning full to anyone today. AMAZING!

This beautiful book “Blowin’ in the Wind” has Bob Dylan’s lyrics and Illustrations by Jon J. Muth. The pictures are just beautifully created with the story line in mind; the lyrics are just what we remember and are easy read to your little one or can be read by anyone. I personally loved this book; although my Toddler may not be understanding the book to its fullest, she liked listening and hearing me hum the song; my Tween on the other hand enjoyed listening to the song that is included with this book and then reading the book and the Note form Creil Marcus, who is a Music Historian explaining the meaning of the song.

Bob Dylan has written more than 600 songs. His 46 albums have sold more than 110 million copies around the world. He has won numerous awards, including the Kennedy Center Honor, the French Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, Sweden’s Polar Music Prize, an Academy Award®, a Golden Globe®, and Grammys® too numerous to mention. In 2008, Bob Dylan was awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.” His most recent album of original material, Together Through Life, was released in 2009 and entered the number one slot in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
