Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-A book that is serviceable but not particularly engaging. It presents the facts of Confucius's life, but fails to convey a real sense of his times. Quotations are scattered liberally throughout the text, and an endnote explains what is known about Confucius and his writings. The book includes a comparison of Pinyin and Wade-Giles Chinese spellings, which is of little value, and there is no guide to Chinese pronunciation or glossary that includes the corresponding Chinese characters. Small, often dark photos and reproductions appear throughout.

This review is from: Confucius: Philosopher & Teacher (Book Report Biographies) (Library Binding)
Confucius is an amazing teacher and this author highlights his teachings in way understandable to anyone. I have felt eastern philosophy was heavy and difficult to understand but his book makes it seem easy. I highly recommend this book. It is inspirational and the author is obviously also inspired by one of the greatest teachers this world has ever known.
