3.0 out of 5 stars Nice way to first hear the Helen Keller story, October 19, 2000

By A Customer

This is an easy to read book (grades 1 & 2) and a wonderful tool for introducing children to Helen Keller. It tells about her struggles after becoming deaf and blind, and of her eventual triumph of learning words with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. It also gives a very brief summary of her accomplishments as an adult.

I think it's great for kids to learn about Helen Keller, and this book provides a nice way to first hear the story.

The last page of the book has a sign language alphabet chart which some children might enjoy trying to learn...

5.0 out of 5 stars Sad but good (from an 8-year-old), June 5, 2001

By A Customer

I like this book because it's a true story that happened 100 years ago. It's a sad story because Helen Keller was blind and deaf. It's a good story because after a while she understood what she was doing and she learned how to write on a typewriter.
