Pebble Books: Business Leaders series.
Designed to introduce new readers to business leaders' contributions and to meet Common Core requirements, these slight books meet minimum standards with simple sentences, limited vocabulary, many photos, a running timeline, and a clear trajectory. But they falter somewhat when photos don't align with text and content is more complicated than writing restrictions can encompass. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Pebble Books: Business Leaders titles: Bill Gates and Milton Hershey.

History Maker Bios series.
Each book in this series presents basic biographical material about an important figure in science or industry. The lackluster text is enhanced by plentiful black-and-white archival photos and period reproductions; unnecessary cartoonlike illustrations in color detract from the overall design. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind. [Review covers these History Maker Bios titles: George Eastman, Albert Einstein, Milton Hershey, The Wright Brothers, Marie Curie, and Thomas Edison.]
