Description

This rollicking and fascinating picture book biography chronicles the life of the primary pioneer of children’s books—John Newbery himself. Even as most children’s books within the 18th century contained lessons and rules, John Newbery imagined them overflowing with entertaining stories, science, and games. He believed that each book will have to be made for the reader’s enjoyment. Newbery—for whom the distinguished Newbery Medal is called—become a celebrated writer and publisher, changing the world of children’s books perpetually. This book about his life and legacy is as full of energy and delight as any young reader could wish.
