(4) K-3 Kids Can Read series. Illustrated by Jon Mantha. This rags-to-riches story of the escape artist begins with his childhood and outlines many of the stunts for which he became famous, leading to his early death. Somewhat stiff illustrations help readers envision his elaborate illusions and appreciate their impact. Four bulleted additional facts ("Dogs were Harry and Bess's favorite pets") are appended. Sources are lacking.
