K-3First Biographies series.
One or two easy-to-read sentences on each page accompanied by well-chosen pictures (mostly artwork reproductions) introduce young readers to the lives of prominent figures in American history. Though they are oversimplified and by no means comprehensive, these accessible books effectively highlight significant events in their subjects' lives and explain their legacies using a simple but informative format. Timeline. Glos, ind. Review covers these First Biographies titles: Abigail Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglass, George Washington, Harriet Tubman, and Thomas Jefferson.
