(3) K-3 Ordinary People Change the World series. Illustrated by Christopher Eliopoulos. Puppeteer Henson narrates his own biography, chattily relating childhood anecdotes (as a bearded adult) that shaped his life and his lasting legacy of the Muppets. There's some gentle moralizing ("keep believing and keep pretending"), but it's well delivered via this series' child-friendly design: a small trim size and cartoon art with occasional comics-style frames and speech-bubble text. Photographs are appended. Reading list, timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: Cynthia K. Ritter
