4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully-illustrated picture book on the life of author Mark Twain,
This review is from: River Boy: The Story of Mark Twain (Hardcover)
This is a nicely-illustrated book about the life of Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain, suitable for elementary school readers. Samuel Clemens had an interesting beginning in life as he was born on the same night Halley's Comet shot through the sky on November 30, 1835. Sam was a mischievous young boy and indulged in many adventurous activities during his childhood such as exploring the creepy passages of McDowell's Cave. His childhood experiences served as inspiration for his writing in later years, such as whitewashing the tall board fence near his house as punishment for not heeding his parents' warning about swimming in the Mississippi, discovering the body of a runaway slave, etc. Children who read this book will find themselves relating to the inquisitive nature inherent in Sam, and his insatiable appetite for adventure!
