The book Harlem was about how black and whites didn't get along, and they move to Harlem and all their problems were resolved with the help of positive leaders. |

As a book for four to eight year olds, I give it a three. As an adult, I give it five stars for an average rating of four. If you've never been to Harlem, or even New York, never met an American of African descent, if you're too young to have heard of the likes of the Cotton Club, the Apollo, people like Sugar Ray, Langston Hughes, Lady Day, or even Malcolm X, your mama has a heck of a lot of explaining to do: too much for the brief span of attention only just long enough to look at the pictures and feel the music of the poem. In terms of just words, I suppose this fits in the 4-8 reading level. However, as a work, this is more likely to be understood and therefore appreciated by older people. My kids, five, and seven, were completely mystified by the poem, although they loved the beautiful compositions that make you wish you could touch them. Having lived in Washington Heights, I can explain some basic things to them, but not enough. The ability to understand and appreciate this book is beyond their capacity at this time. |

Walter Dean Myers is certainly better-known for his chapter books for children than for poetry. That being said, "Harlem" offers an insight into the place as well as the man. African-American culture has long had a close relationship with poetry and Myers cements that friendship. Kudos for a job well-done!
For teachers, this is a must-read during African-American History Month in February (as well as any other time of the year).

I thought this book was great! It's a book that anyone can read. This book not only has beautiful pictures, but seems to teach you a little about Harlem. I think this book should be read by all ages, because it is fantastic! |

This book is for adults, not children. There is so much deep meaning in this book. Just because it is a picture book does not mean that it is for children. I believe that adults will get much more out of it. |

The book Harlem was about how black and whites didn't get along. In the story they were mostly on 125th street in Harlem, New York. The plot was that to celebrate their journey to Harlem, making a way for new a beginning in life. In their old town it was a lot of racism, so they moved to Harlem and all their problems were resolved with the help of positive leaders.
I felt that the book was a good book because it taught me things about Harlem and that the slaves moved from south to north just for freedom, and to get treated better.
