Ellen Ochoa: First Latina Astronaut

32 pp. | Enslow/Elementary | December, 2006 | Library ISBN 0-7660-2642-6 $22.60
(4) 4-6 Famous Latinos series. These biographies of astronaut Ochoa and comedian Lopez aren't up to the other titles in this worthwhile series: both have a flat quality, repeat some information, and leave the reader with questions (e.g., why did NASA keep turning down Ochoa? What "different jobs" did the twenty-something Lopez hold?). The plentiful photos in each book help give the subjects dimension. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
