Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn
Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn | Robert Burleigh
13 posts | 6 read
Everyone knows the story of the raft on the Mississippi and that ol' whitewashed fence, but now it's time for youngins everywhere to get right acquainted with the man behind the pen. Mr. Mark Twain! An interesting character, he was...even if he did sometimes get all gussied up in linen suits and even if he did make it rich and live in a house with so many tiers and gazebos that it looked like a weddin' cake. All that's a little too proper and hog tied for our narrator, Huckleberry Finn, but no one is more right for the job of telling this picture book biography than Huck himself. (We're so glad he would oblige.) And, he'll tell you one thing--that Mr. Twain was a piece a work! Famous for his sense of humor and saying exactly what's on his mind, a real satirist he was--perhaps America's greatest. Ever. True to Huck's voice, this picture book biography is a river boat ride into the life of a real American treasure.

I think this would be a really cool way to expand on classical books for a higher class. The class would at least to have the background of what is going on for this to make a lick of sense, but it would be really cool. And I think it could also be cool for them to turn it around and do it themselves. For example: Write about their life in the perspective of a character they have already created, or one of their parents.

This book tells the classic tale of Huckleberry Finn but in a different view. He's telling the story about Mark Twain and his life. This is such a cool way to incorporate everything into one.

But, says I, Sam's adventures and Sam's stories is for everyone. PERIOD.

This book would be very interesting in an elementary classroom. In the beginning, the author explains why there is such weird language in this book.

This book was very fascinating. Using Huckleberry Fin's language, this book reverses the role of now Huckleberry telling the story of Mark Twain. It goes through his life from start to finish and doesn't hide the hard issues in Mark's life, like his later years. A very good read for someone who wants a different perspective.

#SongsOfSummer Day 13: I grew up reading Mark Twain‘s Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper among others. It was lovely hearing his ‘voice‘ once again through this #smooth talkin‘ narrator who did his creator‘s life (lived large and wide and loud) justice. My review of this unusual picturebook biography: https://wp.me/pDlzr-hNn

This is a cute way to learn about Mark Twain. It‘s written in the same sort of style as Huckleberry Finn, which is different for kids and can really engage them in the story. The illustrations are also visually striking, as well.
