(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Aaron Scamihorn. Balancing education and humor, short biographies of fifty scientists, artists, athletes, daredevils, criminals, and more--including men and women of many races and nationalities--are arranged alphabetically. Entries include full-color illustrated portraits and a combination of funny poems, quizzes, trivia, and definitions. The attractive colors, large trim size, and dynamic layouts make this an entertaining compendium more suited to browsing than research.
