Kid Authors: True Tales of Childhood from Famous Writers

I bought this book for my kids (grades 3rd-8th) as a way to introduce them to authors. I was presently surprised just how excited they were to read this book and learn about the authors in the book. After they read through the engaging short stories and enjoyed the colorful illustrations, they began to be interested in learning more about other authors as well. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to introduce authors to their kids.

Fantastic collection of stories in this series! Kids love them!

Fantastically written, entertaining stories. My daughter absolutely loves this series and can't get enough. Stories are well-written and presented in an entertaining way for kids.

Bought these from my Kindergartner who loves reading. Wanted something that way the usual picture book with bright big picture but no content. There is a fair bit of information & the illustrations are great. Like them a lot.

My third grade daughter and I are having such fun reading through these stories. Most are a nice length for bedtime, but you could double up too. After reading these, I certainly have wanted to learn more about the authors! Each bio has such a fun piece of trivia or background on why the author may have written what he or she did. My fourth grade child has the Kid Artists book which she is reading through herself and has told me that she is really enjoying it as well.
