DD's book report

I overcame my control-freak tendencies and did not interfere. I hope her teacher find this as hilarious as I do.


Thomas Jefferson—a biography

The title of the book is Thomas Jefferson. The author and illustrator
are both Annie Welsbacher. This book is non-fiction. It is a biography (which is a book about a real live person). If the person wrote the book about himself it is an autobiography.

Here’s an explanation: Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd president. In 1776 he wrote The Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence made America independent on the Fourth of July. In 1769 Jefferson built a house called Monticello, Italian for “little mountain.” He created the coin system we use today.

I didn’t like it. It was boring. Nothing in it is exciting. I was so bored I couldn’t concentrate. I don’t like biographies at all!!!!!
