* Reviews *
These beginning biographies all have four chapters, photos on every spread, and a time line. They describe where and when the subjects were born, their childhoods, how they persevered to overcome obstacles, and how they achieved fame. Although the writing style is a bit stiff and choppy, these books are suitable for reports., School Library Journal August 2007
