I think reading actual biographies or biographical fiction makes a bigger impression on a person that reading a paragraph in a textbook about some part of his life. We read a lot of memoirs and biographical fiction when we were homeschooling.

I previously read your review of "Bully" and thought it would be an excellent book for a child dealing with bullies. I must thank you for the chuckle this morning.
