The "extraordinary" Mark Twain (according to Susy) di Barbara Kerley

This is a lovely book. However, I'm not sure who the intended audience is. My picture book loving early elementary students do not know who Twain is, nor do they know how to read cursive. The older students.... I'm just not sure they will love it as much as someone who has read and appreciated Twain's work. It does have potential for discovering how great biographies are written.

Papa: An Intimate Biography of Mark Twain di Susy Clemens

The actual biography from his daughter is short and written when she was very young. Yet it showed Twain's family life. Mr. Clemen's comments on what she wrote is also fascinating.

The Extraordinary Mark Twain (According to Susy) di Barbara Kerley

Twain’s daughter Susy began penning a biography of him when she was 13 years old to “set the record straight.” Fotheringham’s exuberant, oversized illustrations match the life of Twain through America’s and Susy’s eyes perfectly. Author’s Note, Selected Timeline, Sources.

The Extraordinary Mark Twain (According To Susy) di Barbara Kerley

Susy is a little girl with nothing but love for her father, Mark Twain. After realizing that people don't know the real him, Susy decides to write her own biography on her father, detailing all of the strange and wonderful things that make him who he is. Based on the actual biography Susy wrote, this book includes her actual journal entires (misspellings and all), paired with beautiful illustrations and humorous quips. I really enjoyed reading this book and getting insight on the real life of Mark Twain, as well as seeing the sweet relationship he had with Susy. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a laugh or to gain new information.… (altro)
