American Boy: The Adventures of Mark Twain

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-618-17997-6 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Brown nicely paces Sam Clemens's boyhood escapades as an adventure story that turns into a descriptive biography as Sam grows older. Soft watercolors create a temporal metaphor through changing hues that metaphorically parallel Sam's early life as if it were played out over the course of a day. Author's note included. Bib.
Reviewer: Betty Carter
