Abdo’s Checkerboard Biography Library has a wonderful Children’s Authors series, which includes this title. What I love about it, is that it is a clearly written, and engaging text with interesting anecdotes to give the reader insight into the life of a notable author. It provides just the right amount of information for the elementary reader. Each chapter is a two page spread, complete with accompanying photographs. The glossary has words that are well chosen, and necessary for comprehension. Index and Websites are also part of the back matter.
