(Book). Although the ukulele has always been popular even when cast to the grass-skirt ghetto of luaus and limbo contests the current craze for this instrument has put the four-string cousin of the guitar into the hands of veteran musicians and young hipsters alike. And while there are a handful of books feeding the current uke explosion, this is the first to detail the stage, screen, and recording stars who pioneered the uke those who predated and made possible its current resurgence. The book begins with how the uke came to the mainland United States from Hawai'i, and the Hawai'ian song craze of 1916-17, fueled by Tim Pan Alley. Profiled stars include Ukulele Ike, Johnny Marvin, Wendell Hall, "Wizard of the Strings" Roy Smeck, George Formby, Arthur Godfrey, Tessie O'Shea, who was a guest along with the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show , and Tiny Tim.

EDITORIAL :
Ukulele Heroes: The Golden Age, is typically Whitcombian in its eccentricityIt's all lavishly illustrated, and rendered with Whitcomb's trademark brio an admirable blend of deep research and language that's vivid, but never cloying. (Wellhardly ever.) If you have any interest in the history of pop music even if you think you're not interested in ukuleles, or the Hawaii, or vaudeville, or the Great Depression you owe it to yourself to read this monstrously entertaining book. Ian Whitcomb is just that good. --Kirkus Reviews

Unfortunately, it seems to be the latter for me.
With most other series, it usually comes down to just the whole plotline/story just not living up to the spectacular standards set by the previous books. I found out that she absolutely LOVES to do several of the things I've tried from this book, and is quite the active little girl! When either of our kids get grouchy or upset, roughhousing play can often bring t
