Chris Rock
When Chris Rock was growing up in New York City, he quickly learned that he loved to make people laugh. Today he is called "The Funniest Man in America," with a standup comedy act, a movie career, and even a T.V. show based on his childhood. This easy biography has colorful illustrations, lively layout, and accessible vocabulary. Ideal for early independent readers and useful for beginning reports.
* Reviews *
African-American Heroes series. These books provide cursory looks at the lives of prominent African Americans. The writing is choppy, and the attention given is superficial. Quotations and photographs of the subjects, some as children, may be a draw for readers, but too often generic stock photos are used to fill up the pages. Reading list, timeline, websites.
