Re: Biographies

["Librianne@mediaone.net" <librarianne@MEDIAONE.NET>]

I'm sorry I have to address the whole list but I deleted the email address
for this request.  Someone asked for the 10 biographies that were essential
for an elementary school.  We have an extensive biography collection, so it
is very hard to limit my choices.

For younger students:  Glorious Flight by the Provensens, My Great -Aunt
Arizona by Gloria Houston; all of James Stevenson's and Tomie dePaola's.
For older students:  Through My Eyes by Ruby Bridges and Behind Rebel Lines
by Seymour Reit.

There are two series that I rate highly: Creative Minds published by
Carolrhoda and The Picture Book biographies by David Adler.  I think all the
books are well done.
