It explains the life he had, and the rough patched he went through, especially the death of his mother when he was on five years old. It tells of his education including the time he spent at Oxford, not only as a student, but also as professor. I did not know much about C.S. Lewis, and I did not know that he was the author of The Chronicles of Narnia. I found that interesting because I enjoyed the movies that were based on his books. I would recommend this to students who are interested in learning about different authors. C.S. Lewis was a notable author and poet. Mostly known for his box office hit, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," Lewis will always be remembered for his myths and fantasy novels. Ironically, Lewis never intended to become a children's book author. Because of his bold imagination and the subject matters he wrote about, children took a big interest in his work. Aside from being an author, Lewis was also poet. As an adult Lewis decided to retry his faith and believe in God. He wrote many books about the christian faith and became a popular speaker on the subject. This biography was very organized and well written but it was lacking in personality. There was not many quirky facts about Lewis that children could relate to. The majority of the book was important dates in his career. From a child's point of view, there were not many points in the book that would grab their attention and keep it for the remainder of the book. C.S. Lewis is a famous author who wrote things like Chronicles of Narnia series, which includes the very famous "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". This child's biography book gives a background of Lewis while being easy to understand so children can read it with ease. I really enjoyed reading this myself and learning things about Lewis. For example, I did not know that Lewis was a soldier in World War I. I loved reading "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" when I was younger and I hope to teach Lewis' work to my future students.

Something else I appreciate about these books is that if a word isn't common, it's probably bold, meaning its definition is in the back--which is quite helpful because I had to reference something in a third grade book! Apparently a governess is essentially a nanny. The more ya know... ( )
