John Denver

John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads (Audio CD Included) (The John Denver & Kids Series)

This brilliant picture book adaptation of the first hit song of John Denver is all about roots, family, and country. Set in Appalachia, a humorously diverse bunch of relatives and their in-laws go up, down and around the hills of West Virginia to converge by car, pickup, and motorcycle to a family reunion at Grandma and Grandpas country home. True to Appalachian style, Canyon portrays it all as if on a quilt, complete with little stitches between the fabric. The lyrics demand to be sung--the hardback edition comes with a CD of John Denver singing his classic in this John Denver & Kids book series.
