Who Was Thomas Jefferson?

103 pp. | Grosset | July, 2003 | Library ISBN 0-448-43236-6 $$13.89 | Paper ISBN 0-448-43145-9 $$4.99
(4) 4-6 Who Was...? series. Illustrated by John O'Brien. Jefferson offers an adequate introduction but occasionally gets bogged down in detail (however, his sexual relationship with Sally Hemings is included as fact). Keller reads more smoothly. Black-and-white drawings and boxed sections on topics such as the Boston Tea Party and Braille expand the biographical information, but the overall presentation is lackluster. Timeline. Bib. [Review covers these Who Was...? titles: Who Was Thomas Jefferson? and Who Was Helen Keller?.]
Reviewer: Cyrisse Jaffee
