Gr 2-6 Readable and inviting, these beginning biographies serve as good basic introductions to these individuals. A yellow background is used to set apart text that is a direct quotation from a primary source, allowing readers to distinguish it from the fictional dialogue and the narration. The Internet Sites section leads readers to facthound.com where they can enter a book code to get a list of relevant sites.
