The Value of Imagination: The Story of Charles Dickens by Spencer Johnson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this series as a present for, I believe, my kindergarten graduation. It's wonderful to go back to read it to my daughter. This is a biography with a twist.

Each person (in this case, Dickens) has an imaginary friend who "helps" him make the right decision. The book teaches the value of a specific trait (imagination) by showing how the subject exhibited that trait and how it helped that person.

I think this series has weathered the years well and serves as a good introduction to a host of wonderful people. I'm looking forward to reading this book and the rest of the series to my daughter for years to come.
