This #picturebook #biography of #MarkTwain does a good job of showing how his childhood experiences influenced his work. The watercolor illustrations by writer #DonBrown are also quite charming. There‘s a short author‘s note with more info, and a brief bibliography.

This #picturebook biography of #MarkTwain does not shy away from the slavery issue. I also learned that little Sam Clemens was saved from drowning by an enslaved woman. #DonBrown

Ruthiella Oh, I wonder if that‘s partially where Octavia Butler got the idea for 3y

There are very few middle grade books that I find I can become invested in, by this series definitely makes the list! I always love the mysteries and the ciphers, (even though I have no idea how to do any of them) and I feel invested in the characters.

This one was a bit haunting because the author‘s note mentioned a ship that‘s buried under San Francisco and had burned down, ⬇️

Zoe-h ⬆️ so they built a hotel on top of it which also burned down so they rebuilt and it BURNED DOWN AGAIN. And that‘s all real stuff the happened. This book was about a made-up cipher that was supposedly cursed and had survived all those fires. Great read! 5⭐️ 3y

I don't have any books by Mark Twain but I read them when I was at my first school. I remembered the story of Tom Sawyer.

I took the Liberty Square Riverboat ride around Tom Sawyer Island, so I still got to see the fort and the half white-washed painted fence.

Okay, anyone not interested in stupid videos just scroll on by. But if you‘re like me and stuff like this makes you laugh, then follow the link and watch. I laughed so hard! 😂 Also, one guy uses authors names as expletives. Enjoy! 🤣🤣🤣
