girl in the dark

I like the picture book. It's Helen Keller. Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia Alabama. A girl would like this book if they bought it. 6 years old, 6 1/2. I thought I was back in Helen Keller's year. -- Written by Meg, age 5 1/2

Perfect for small children

No, it isn't the full biography of her life that one might expect to find in an adult level book. But, I think it is pretty obvious that it is a picture book. As such, it is perfect for small children.

A Picture Book of Helen Keller

I think this book is TERRIFIC! It told the story very, very well. I loved reading it to my 7-year-old daughter. When we were through, she exclaimed, "Read it again!" I highly recommend it!

I purchased this book for my 9 year old to help with a biography book report. It is a bit too easy for a third grader as she read it in just a few minutes but it provides the basics for a report.

Good for young children

I had to read this book for a class at college for my education major. It tells the story of Helen Keller simply and accurately, with very nice illistrations. It is a good book for young children to begin learning about who she was. I'm sure there are better books out there, but this is pretty good to begin with.
