Helen Keller's Best Friend Belle

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-3198-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jennifer Thermes. This simple biography covers the landmarks in Keller's life: her childhood illness, the arrival of Anne Sullivan, and the moment at the water pump. But it also emphasizes Helen's love for dogs and implies that a particular reward for her learning to speak was verbal communication with her favorite dog, Belle. Lightly drawn illustrations in soft colors complete the warm narrative.
