She continues to mentor and advise educators. She wrote dozens of other For Dummies books such as College Admission Essays for Dummies, and Research Papers for Dummies. She is the author of Independent Study That Works: Designing a Successful Program, 25 Great Sentences and How They Got That Way, and Sentence.: A Period to Period Guide to Building Better Readers and Writers, all from W.W. Norton. She lives in New York City, where she keeps a blog, Grammarian in the City, providing wry commentary on language trends and the pretentious or incomprehensible signs she observes on her walks.

Finally finished this book. It took me 3 months to completely read and practice all the contents in this book. As someone who has little understanding of grammar, this book really helped me learning English language.

I really enjoyed reading this mini biography of Jim Henson.

This book does a good job of painting a picture of one of the most anonymously famous people in television history.

The book describes Jim's early life before the invention of television and Jim's extreme interest in Television after its invention.

The book describes Jim's transition from artist/painter to puppeteer/film maker.

There are many pictures throughout the book that give a behind the scenes look at a seemingly easy job; puppeteering.

This book is appropriate for 3rd graders and up. I wouldn't even put an age limit on this book because it provides information that many adults may also find interesting.

One piece I found to be very important was Jim's underlying freedom of feelings throughout his career. One of the chapters is titled "I think life is basically good" which I believe shows Jim's optimism and good natured character.
