Pebble Books: Great Women in History series.
Designed to introduce new readers to history-changing contributions by women 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: Great Women in History titles: Marie Curie and Sally Ride.
