(4) YA Book Report Biography series. This is a detailed and informative account of the life of the creator of such icons as Uncle Sam, the Republican donkey, the Democratic elephant, and Santa Claus as we know him. Students may find the intricacies of his career tedious and his personal life unremarkable, but the "Thomas Nast sampler" of cartoons is interesting. Historical background and a time line are included. Bib., ind.
