Summary: Perfect for young minds
Comment: The first reviewer forgot to read the title; it is called "Young Helen Keller" so it definitely should end with her youth.
I am a third grade teacher and ALL of my students found it fascinating, so I am getting extra copies for future years.
This story is an excellent example of getting ahead against very large odds, and the way it is presented makes it easy for young seven or eight year olds to understand it.
The only reason I do not give it five stars is the weak illustrations.

Rating: 5
Summary: Get a clue
Comment: This is a book for young children. It is not a college level book. The previous reviewer needs to get a clue about the reading capabilities of an 8 year old. Not many are interested in reading 300 page biographies.

Summary: Helen Keller Would Find This Shameful!
Comment: She lived to be 88. She was a socialist and a suffragist. She called for peace in Europe to prevent World War I. She denounced the murder of coal minors in Colorado. She donated funds to the NAACP. She helped found the American Civil Liberties Union. She proved that blind and deaf people have a place in the political life of the nation.

This "first" biography ends with her going to college. How would you feel about having your life defined that way?

Eight-year-olds now, deeply they know, that people grow and change. That's what makes life interesting to an 8-year-old. This book infantilizes Helen Keller, freezing her as a "permanent child". My kids deserve much better than this book offers, especially if it is going to be short!
