School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 3-This series is identical in format to the publisher's "Country Music Stars" (see above), but in these volumes the selection of subjects is puzzling. Only musicians and athletes are represented, and only African Americans. The figures are inspiring, but a few might not be of high interest to youth. Also, while material about people who are underrepresented in children's biographies is useful, these figures deserve more substantial coverage than what this series affords. (c) Copyright 2010.
