(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Diana Magnuson. Each of the early readers in this series takes an anecdote, true or not, from its subject's youth and presents it as a reflection of the notable figure he or she grew up to become. Although the realistic illustrations are rather stiff, the books do give fairly entertaining glimpses into the three individuals' lives and personalities. A timeline of the subject's life follows each story. [Review covers these titles: Betsy Ross and the Silver Thimble, Abe Lincoln and the Muddy Pig, Helen Keller and the Big Storm.]
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
