K-3Raintree Biographies series.
Each of the dryly written books in this series begins with a character-defining event--Roosevelt's driving alone through the Tennessee mountains despite a death threat; Boone's rescue of his daughter from Indians--and then proceeds to briefly summarize their lives. Each double-page spread is broken up by reproductions and photos, as well as quotes and text boxes. A timeline is appended. There are five other fall 2002 books in this series. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Raintree Biographies titles: Crazy Horse, Frederick Douglass, Daniel Boone, Eleanore Roosevelt, and Thomas Jefferson.]
