5.0 out of 5 stars An autobiography that actually appeals to children!, March 29, 2000

This book is a wonderful way to get young readers interested in biographies. Most literature of this sort is too long for young children to appreciate, but this one is short and simple with wonderful illustrations. It is also a great way to teach children to write from what they know; therefore it is very useful in the elementary classroom.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Bookworm Who Hatched (Meet the Author) (Hardcover)

I think this book is a good book and that it is way to long we don't want to know what your hole life was about just some of your life was. I think it is to long of a book and i think itneeds to be shorter but other than that i think you did a good job i am just saying that it does not really matter what i think it just matters what you think about your story i am just giving you some advice nothing big or any thing i just think you should do a better job on your story you and the person who checked your book need to go back and check it again because children should say in want to read this story again i think its the best story in the world but there saying this book is to long and i think it needs to be shorter just because it really is i don't want to heart any bodies feelings but it needs to be way shorter than it is right know but i am just saying that you don't have to listen to me you can just pretend that i said nothing. thats all i wanted to say.
