K-3History Maker Bios series.
These simple biographies offer young readers a glimpse into the early lives, careers, and achievements of notable Americans. The books include quotes from the subjects, chapter head art (unfortunately, amateurishly cartoonish), and archival photos, illustrations, and reproductions of primary source materials. Sentences are short, and the books are appropriately geared toward children gaining confidence in their reading skills. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these History Maker Bios titles: Susan B. Anthony, John Adams, and Jimmy Carter.
