(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Felicia Marshall. The publisher's copyright-page claim that "this book is a work of fiction" to the contrary, this standard account of Tubman's life cites events that correspond to those in other biographies of the Underground Railroad leader. The text is choppy but accessible. The accompanying full-page acrylic paintings are sometimes too dark but convey feeling. Chronology.
