review 1: Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library by Barb Rosenstock, illustrated by John O’Brien – 921 – Biography, NF – Fascinating biography about Thomas Jefferson and his life-long obsession with books, learning, and language. He wasn’t a perfect person and there were facts sprinkled throughout illustrating this… Loved reading and learning a few tidbits more. I wish this biography, and many others, were around when I was a kid, would have loved learning about history so much more!
review 2: A delightful read with wonderful illustrations. Anyone who loves reading as much as Thomas Jefferson did and who was unselfishly devoted to promoting literacy is a great person. I liked that the author's notes did mention he owned slaves throughout his life so that's an oppo... morertunity for discussion. How do you measure the goodness of a man or woman? Can biographies be fair if they just focus on one person's interest? Does there need to be a disclaimer of sorts to try and be inclusive? less
