School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-3-Small-format books with very basic biographical information. All three titles include background on their subjects' early lives and mention of their significant accomplishments. The eight spreads in each book contain an average of five to seven lines of text facing an often grainy or blurry black-and-white photograph or reproduction. In Nightingale, the woman's crusade for clean hospitals is covered. Addams looks at the social reformer's plan for Hull House, while Pasteur covers the scientist's discoveries about germ microbes and vaccines. Adequate titles for libraries in which there is a demand for biographies for this audience.-Christina F. Renaud, Millis Public Schools, MA (c) Copyright 2010.

Booklist Review

Ea. vol.: 24p. illus. index. 2002. Rourke, $13.95. Gr. 1-3. The life and times of six people who changed the course of history are now available in these smooth Spanish renditions that are just right for beginning Spanish readers. Each title includes information about both the personal life and the accomplishments of its subject as well as a chronology, a glossary (which, unfortunately, lacks the Spanish definite pronouns), and English-language suggestions for further reading and online resources.
