5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book ever!, November 4, 2001

Katie (Phoenix, Az) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Helen Keller (Scholastic Biography) (Paperback)

The story of Helen Keller and her life of silence and darkness is told wonderfully in this book. I first read this books when I was about 7 (I am now 16) and it is still my absolute favorite book! I have read countless times and my book has fallen apart. This is a great book for anyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, October 15, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Helen Keller (Scholastic Biography) (Paperback)

This book is about a little girl who grew up being blind and deaf. This little girl's name was Helen Keller. Helen grew blind and deaf when she was a little baby. I got very interested about reading how her mother found out that Helen was blind and deaf. The book described how Helen worked her way though her life to be sucessful with goals she wanted to accomplish. I would recomend this to anyone that wanted an easy book to read about Helen Keller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two generations loved this book, June 18, 2003

NYer family (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Helen Keller (Scholastic Biography) (Paperback)

My 8 year old just finished this book and was fascinated. I realized as I looked through it that I read it as a child and loved it too (as an 11 year old). My daughter is now eager to learn more about Braille and the consequences of being blind--though I had to ask her not to walk through the kitchen with her eyes closed. She loved the photos and can't wait to read about Annie Sullivan. A great book to show the triumph of the human spirit over adversity--and without pity!
