Gr 2-5-These short biographies provide just enough detail for readers to get a real sense of these people, the times in which they lived, and the importance of their achievements. Each book is arranged in an easy-to-read format, with five- to seven-page chapters. Good-quality archival photographs depict the subjects and the events taking place during their lifetimes. Paragraphs are separated by extra line space; words in bold appear in the glossaries. Boxed sidebars offer excerpts from the subjects' writings, works, or words, or further details about a person or event mentioned in the body of the texts. Simple, clear, and objective overviews.-Mary N. Oluonye, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
