Review: I used this book with my first graders. I showed it using the Kindle app on my whiteboard and I read the story while the children followed and looked at the pictures. We read the whole book in two sittings (with a Braille activity in between) and they were really interested and focussed the whole time. They thought Helen Keller was an amazing person! The pictures in the book are beautiful and the text is easy to read but not too simple. The children learned many new words as we read the story. Most of the children want to read the book themselves at home, so I might have quite a queue of people waiting to borrow tablets!

Review: My student is an adult, and reads at about a fifth grade level. It's hard to find material that is both age-appropriate and accessible for an adult working on ESL. This book is great for her -- in one chapter, maybe ten or fifteen words need to be looked up and practiced. The story is so much better for an adult learner than fairy tales or other books for kids.
