(4) K-3 Heroes of American History series. Although their brevity sometimes interferes with a nuanced interpretation of history (as when Ford maintains that "FDR did not want America to go to war"), these books tell enough of the story for elementary school students to grasp the importance of their subjects. Many captioned illustrations break up the text, helping young readers better visualize the historic events. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Heroes of American History titles: Clara Barton and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
