Nice beginning book biography on Helen Keller.

[Jae · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was good but didn't really tell everything about her and I want to learn a bit more.

[Jennifer Oaks · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked how the book started off as a question that would be an excellent hook to begin the story. I liked the photos that were used to show Helen growing up and finishing college. It showed how perseverant she was and how she didn't allow her disabilities getting in the way.

This is a very abbreviated story of Helen Keller. No Lexile Measure or grade levelling could be found on this version of the book. However it would be good to introduce the genre to first graders.

I think that this book is good because it had alot of information and it was also intresting.
