A Man Named Thoreau, by Robert Burleigh


Mmmm. Guess what, it's a picture book biography. (See below.)
But you know, this one was better for me. Was it better because there were more words and less pictures? Am I that verbal? Is it too hard for me to go back to children's books because I need the words to mean so much? I don't know.
This book was aimed at slightly older children, and was much more complex- it wasn't just a 'here's a hero/athlete/warrior' story, it was a story about someone who had something to say about America and what life means, which made it much more tolerable to read.
