HIT: Biographies for Grades 1-5

[Kate Wakefield <kwakefield@SNET.NET>]

Many thanks to those who responded to my questions regarding Biographies.
Here are the suggestions thus far:

Series/Publishers:
*Rookie Readers
*A Picture Book About ... by Adler.
LANDMARK company.  (They are out of print.)
*Chelsea House biographies
Carolrhoda (Lerner*)
Franklin Watts, Grolier Co.
Biography Today published by Omnigraphics
* More than one recommendation

Who:
Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Selena, Mariah Carey
Michael Jordan, other sports figures
Biographies about females, or hispanics, blacks, multicultural, etc.(to
reflect student population and/or to enhance multiculturalism)

A few suggested buying some paperbacks for those current biographies whose
popularity might wear out as quickly as the paperback does.



I would also like to add some from my own list:

Robin Montanta Turner - several on women artists
Freedman's photo-biographies
Kathleen Krull (Wilma Unlimited, Lives of...)
Pinkney's *Duke Ellington*
Szabo-*Sky Pioneer*


Thanks again,
