Fleming, C. (2009). The great and only barnum: the trmendous, stupendous life of the showman p.t. barnum. New York, NY: Schwart & Wade.
A Notable Book for Children's List, C. Fleming does an amazing job in this biography capturing important details of P.T. Barnum's life. This biography takes us from childhood through adulthood. It tells of life with his family, as a businessman, and a politcian.
Barnum considered himself a showman and was always looking for his next business opportunity. Despite suffering several tragedies (bankruptcy, fires, and illness), he continued his success up until his death (at this point,it included a partnership with Bailey).
The photos used and quotes taken from Barnum's autobiography helped bring this book to life by helping tell of his life story and tell of the legacy he left behind.
