About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-7–These well-translated volumes immediately connect readers with the subject by first providing background information. The authors use clear and plentiful illustrations, maps, and diagrams to explain the unfamiliar and extend knowledge. The balanced presentations relate aspects of each personality in simple terms. In Tut, Edwards mentions details of the latest King TutâÇÖs research. Fradin includes the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. Prince includes interesting details in Twain such as the origin of Samuel ClemensâÇÖs writing pseudonym. The books present a clear picture of their subjects and the times in which they lived. Solid additions.–Ana Rodriguez, Tamarac Elementary School, FL
