While Krull strives to tell the whole story, certain elements feel out of place or casually thrown in. But the various illustration styles are well matched to their subjects, and for young readers looking for facts about fascinating women, this series fits the bill. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these Women Who Broke the Rules titles: Dolley Madison, Judy Blume, and Sonia Sotomayor.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Leonard. It's Election Day, and the child narrators here know what a special day that is for the United States. Told from multiple points of view (it's sometimes unclear which character is narrating), this book includes descriptions of what Election Day is as well as the day's events, political vocabulary, and voting history. Upbeat illustrations mirror the celebratory and informative text.
