KilmerMSLibrary | 4 outras críticas | May 13, 2014 | Not only does this book tell the story of Helen Keller's life of courage and perseverance, it presents the material in a way that would appeal to reluctant readers. The Graphic Library series book gives the student background information, dialogue and visualization of Helen Keller's life. It allows the readers to see how the person dressed and spoke during the time, but in a form that is popular with today's generation. I think this will appeal to middle school students who need a visual aid when reading or those who are not interested in history subjects. I also appreciated the further reference section of age appropriate websites.

lorinhigashi | 4 outras críticas | Nov 10, 2010 | Thomas Edison and the Lightbulb, by Scott R. Welvaert, in an excellent biography for 3rd-5th graders wanting to explore the amazing inventor. With the popularity of graphic novels, the biography is sure to be a hit for this age group. Welvaert is able to take the technical and scientific aspects that went into Edison’s discovery and make them interesting and easier to follow than by just presenting them as a bunch of uninteresting facts. Edison and the other characters’ dialogue help break up the aforementioned and keeps readers engaged. The author communicates Edison’s struggles and triumphs, complete with the suspense of a competing inventor and the merger of the two. Welvaert also includes a table of contents breaking up the story of the invention into four sections. A the end of the story there are more facts about Thomas Edison, a glossary of terms, a list of Internet sites and books that can provide additional information, a bibliography, and an index.

kdangleis | Aug 14, 2010 | The story of Helen Keller, who becomes deaf and blind from an illness as a child. A lady named Anne comes to be her teacher when Helen is older and she teaches Helen to use sign language and to read Braille to communicate with people and she becomes very successful.
This is an interesting version of the story Helen Keller, which I also had a biography over.
In the classroom, I would use this book for my more experienced readers.

AmyPollard | 4 outras críticas | Apr 19, 2010 | This is the story of Helen Keller's life. But its in a graphic novel format. Ideal for students or patrons who have to do a project with a biography, but really do not like to read, the pictures are visually appealing and the text complements the pictures to tell the story of Helen's life.½
