They are very enjoyable and someone should read them<wink>--they are at the 6th grade reading level so too difficult for 2nd thru 4th gr. readers who would be most attracted to them. Ex. Joan of Arc; The Librarian Who Measured the World; The Bard of Avon; Cleopatra; The Picture Book Biographies by Adler; Lives of...series; etc. I have nearly all the titles available in this format and no takers--too hard for lower elementary students and too short or too pictoral for older students (so say the teachers-so, so say the kids). Who do you suppose they have in mind as an audience when they publish them??? They do make great read alouds however.Hope your student population can enjoy them--maybe you can get the teachers to use them as introductory material in social study classes. -- Nancy Lieber Lower School Library/Media Specialist University School of Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI Nlieber@execpc.com or Nlieber@usm.k12.wi.us =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
