Who Is Jeff Kinney? by Patrick Kinney - 103 pages
Who Is J.K. Rowling? by Pam Pollack & Meg Belviso - 105 pages

Who Was Laura Ingalls Wilder? by Patricia Brennan Demuth - 106 pages

Since I am driving a little more again I've decided to start listening to audio books again.  I decided to start with children's book as they are shorter and it wouldn't take me an entire month to listen to one book.  

These books were interesting.  As they are for children, it wasn't surprising that they didn't address any of the controversies with the various authors.  What truly surprised me is that the book about the newest author with the least books -- Jeff Kinney -- was just as long as those whose lives covered much more time and events.  I can see why kids enjoy these books though.
