Summary: bio of Peg Leg Bates
Review: This is the picture book biography of Peg Leg Bats. He was the son of a sharecropper who dreamed of being a famous dancer. He has to go to work at an early age at a factory. While on the job he had an accident that caused him to lose a leg. He didn't let this stop his dream. He got a wooden leg and danced as well as ever. He danced in movies, on tv and even for the King and Queen of England!
The book was a great example of courage and determination. All Peg Leg ever wanted to do was dance and he didn't let the accident stop him!
I would recommend this book to others. My mom and I read this as part of our black history month study. We learned a lot from this book. Before reading it I had never heard of Peg Leg Bates.
