(4) K-3 On My Own Biography series. Illustrated by Jeni Reeves. This beginning-reader biography is laudably straightforward about the reliability of information about Pocahontas. The author follows through by noting the sources for particular incidents: such as Pocahontas's allegedly saving John Smith's life and why it might not be true (e.g., Smith was a braggart). Occasionally awkward drawings illustrate the brief text; a timeline and afterword are appended. Bib.
