It's hard to capture the long and fantastic life and career of Mel Brooks in such a few amount of pages, but this book nails it!
Mel Brooks is best known and loved among the older generations, but this book is a wonderful way to introduce kids to the beloved actor, writer, and comedian. Heck, it was a wonderful way for me!
I also felt the illustrations really capture Mel and the light that he is!

What a great read! I loved reading Christy Mihaly's new Little Golden Book, Mel Brooks! The nostalgia of holding a (new) Little Golden Book brought back my childhood when my parents allowed me to peruse the rack and choose one of my own, a real treat! I enjoyed reading about Mel Brooks and his life. The story is solid, the illustrations just right, and there is plenty of meat for readers to enjoy. Two thumbs up for Mel Brooks (in a Little Golden Book)!
