[LM_NET] HIT: Elem, Biographies - Chapter book style

[Erica Payne <epayne@K12ALBEMARLE.ORG>]

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!

 

My fifth grade girls and I love Small Steps by Peg Kehret. It is about
her bout with polio when she was a teenager.

 

Tomie DePaola's various memoir ish ones. ?

 

Knucklehead by Jon Scieszka.

 

Lerner/Carolrhoda does a nice job on that, and on several different
reading levels.  Also Cavendish did too, but they have been sold.  You
might also try Capstone and Pebble Press.  There a many non-series bios
out there by Marrin (Marren); Haskins, and others that have a more
literary quality to them.  Can't forget Russell Freedman
