The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus

This is a very well done biography about Roget. Interesting to the children without overloading too many dates or facts they wouldn't understand. It made his life seem relatable and interesting. Makes an obscure historical figure become a real person. You begin to think about them as someone who was a child who grew up. You appreciate their work more. Who doesn't love a good thesaurus??! The illustrations were fun and helped pull in more facts. My kids have read this more than once because it's actually enjoyable to read. I'm now looking at more from this author. (Please do Noah Webster???)
