(4) K-3 Big Buddy Biographies series. This series offers biographical information about popular young stars. The texts, though bland and very light on content, are easy to read, and their subjects may be of interest to children. Many photographs appear throughout the volumes; captions and brief "Did you know..." sidebars give additional information on the stars' family lives, schooling, and professional careers. Glos., ind. Review covers these Big Buddy Biographies titles: Justin Bieber and Kristen Stewart.
