Tim Hopgood έκανε τους στίχους εικόνα και μετέτρεψε το εμβληματικό μουσικό κομμάτι σε ένα βιβλίο για παιδιά. Χρησιμοποιώντας gouache και τέμπερες, ο βραβευμένος συγγραφέας και εικονογράφος δημιούργησε ένα πολύ όμορφο, πολύ χαρούμενο, γεμάτο ζωντανά και λαμπερά χρώματα σκηνικό, πάνω στο οποίο παιδιά από όλες τις φυλές παρατηρούν τον κόσμο μας. Ένα βιβλίο, που όπως και το τραγούδι, γεμίζει με αισιοδοξία και ελπίδα όποιον το διαβάσει, ένα βιβλίο απαραίτητο σε κάθε παιδί (και κάθε ενήλικα) που ζει σε μια μία από τις πιο σκοτεινές για την ανθρωπότητα περιόδους. Developed children's use of 'sense' to describe how they see/smell/feel/hear/taste the world around them (outside lesson). If you think about it, What a Wonderful World has always been a song about colors and light. There are "trees of green, "red roses," "skies of blue," "clouds of white," and rainbows. There is also both a "bright blessed day," and a "dark sacred night." My son Luke was excited to point to these color elements and label them. Kids with autism usually learn to label colors in their first teaching programs, so color language becomes highly reinforcing. In 1993, Japanese group Ulfuls released a cover of the song, which was later used in 1997 as ending song for the drama "Sore ga kotae da!"Cooke was living with his friend Adler who had basically finished this song. Sam added in the little parts about academia which ended up really bringing it to life. He would sing this song to women at bars, telling them he made it up on the spot just for them. Herman's Hermits charted with their recording of the song in 1965, reaching number one in Canada, [1] number four in the United States, and number seven in the United Kingdom, respectively. A remake by Art Garfunkel with James Taylor and Paul Simon charted at number 17 in 1978. The Sam Cooke version was featured in the 1978 film Animal House and gained greater recognition in the UK upon a 1986 re-release when it peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, going gold (it had peaked at number 27 on the UK singles chart on first release in 1960). Its 1986 success was attributed to sound-alike versions featured in the film Witness (1985) and a Levi's 501 television commercial. The classic and beloved song is brought to life with bright and colorful illustrations by Tim Hopgood. Item Display – RPM – Library and Archives Canada". Collectionscanada.gc.ca. April 1, 1978 .
