Excellent step into reading non-fiction

My daughter read this book for a summer reading book report before third grade. I wasn't sure any book without talking magical creatures would hold her attention, but this one did. She even retained enough to reference it in conversation! Now that she's finished, I wish it had been longer, covering more of his life, and had some of his art in it. But over all, this book was a very good choice for a child who has just begun reading chapter books on their own.
