Chester Nimitz and the Sea

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Craig Kodera. This picture book biography relates the life and accomplishments of an American WWII hero. The brief narrative recounts Nimitz's youth, U.S. Naval Academy years, early experiences as a seaman, and his rise to commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Children will come away with an appreciation for Nimitz's courage and heroism, but the painterly illustrations are too stoic. Timeline.
