Spielberg

Steven Spielberg, the film director, turned 62 today. From his movies we have Schindler’s List on VHS and Munich on DVD. We also have a book on his life, written for children: “The picture life of Steven Spielberg“, by Michael C. Leather. As the book was published in 1988 it doesn’t have references to his newer films. But its pictures still shed a light on his life along with the chapters: childhood, a hobby becomes a career, fame and success, on to producing, other influences, honors and home life. I also think that the glossary of film terms at the end of the 64 page volume is valuable for young readers.
