Customer Reviews

Wrong Helen Keller book

Warning - I did not receive Helen Keller by Margaret Davidson. I was shipped The Story of Helen Keller by Lorena Hickok.

First Chapter Book

This is the first chapter book I ever read. I am now 13 year olds and when I was in 1st grade I learned to read. In first grade I read this book and was hooked on reading forever after that. So thank you to the author! This book has 95 pages in it, I remember it seemed so long then!

Two generations loved this book

My 8 year old just finished this book and was fascinated. I realized as I looked through it that I read it as a child and loved it too (as an 11 year old). My daughter is now eager to learn more about Braille and the consequences of being blind--though I had to ask her not to walk through the kitchen with her eyes closed. She loved the photos and can't wait to read about Annie Sullivan. A great book to show the triumph of the human spirit over adversity--and without pity!

This is the best book ever!

The story of Helen Keller and her life of silence and darkness is told wonderfully in this book. I first read this books when I was about 7 (I am now 16) and it is still my absolute favorite book! I have read countless times and my book has fallen apart. This is a great book for anyone!

This is the most excellent story to teach young readers

I thought that this book was magnificent! It teaches young readers that they can do anything that they want to do. Never give up, and you will have many advanatages to the people that do give up, for trying to get reach your goal.

A genuine good book

I thought this story was great! Because it was true, it was sad, but happy in the end. It was a great story of how Helen Keller adjusted to her life and did everything she ever wanted!
