“And right sure enough, he did“

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

“Mind you, Huck Finn ain‘t sentimental”

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.
