I Hate to Knitpick But...
There's a line in here about how Roald Amundsen learned skills from "the native Inuits" that enabled him to successfully reach the South Pole. Now please correct me if I'm wrong, but since when are there Inuits (or anyone else but penguins) at the South Pole? I know, I know. St George means that he learned the skills from the Arctic natives that helped him conquer the Antarctic. But the ...

Happy birthday, Abey Baby
I had lunch with an author the other day and the subject happened to turn to the topic of biographies for children. Sometimes it seems like publishers are afraid of doing anyone new these days. It's all Einstein and Martin Luther King Jr. There are a whole lot of Helen Kellers and more Anne Franks than a kid could ever really need. Unusual subjects sometimes seem to get the shaft, and this is a ...

Wow! What a book!
I'm an armchair historian who's also interested in children's literature and so I'm always on the lookout for lively kids' books on the topics that interest me. Yesterday, just by chance, I came across this book at the library and after looking at just a couple of pages, I checked it out immediately. I knew I'd truly enjoy it, but I assumed it wouldn't interest my kids, who are focused on ...

Dear Dr. Bell... Your Friend, Helen Keller
St., George Judith

, 1994
Helen Keller was only six years old when she met Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. The meeting was an eventful one, marking the beginning of a lifelong friendship. It was Bell who guided Helen's parents to a teacher and helped Helen adjust to an extremely public life. "You can do anything you think you can." wrote Dr. Bell to Helen. "Remember that many will be brave in your courage."
