Review: A wonderful & timeless book - I first heard of this book when I was in 5th grade (about 10-11 yrs. old)...I'm 28 now. My African-American teacher would read us stories from it. I remember enjoying the stories so much that I bought this book for my son about 2 yrs. ago. My son is almost 3 now & while he can't read yet, I know he will enjoy the stories as much as I have. This book comes with a CD & is narrated by the author & James Earl Jones...the narration was well done. I listened to the CD & I felt as if I had gone back in time. The narrators are so vivid & they really get your attention. The CD is definitely a plus & the book was well written. I really like that the stories have morals & life lessons that we can learn from. I recommend buying this version of the book because it comes with the CD. I also recommend this book for children 9 & up. This book would be a great addition to anyone's book collection. I hope my review is helpful.

Poetry is Awsome!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still one of my favorite books
*by M***S on May 30, 2012*

In 1985 I was working in shipping& receiving at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena, CA. The store manager (a good friend of mine) asked me if I wanted an advanced reading copy of "The People Could Fly." That is where my experience with the book began. I then went on to meet Ms. Hamilton and the Dillons, who all signed my copy of the book. My wife and I raised our two daughters on the tales contained in this book. It's hard to believe that nearly twenty-seven years have passed since then. I recently recommended this book to a friend, looking for good stories to read to her young son. And my mother was also in search of a book for her two great-grandsons. In my opinion this book should be a staple in every home, but especially those with black children in them. It is a great collection of illustrations and tales.
