School Library Journal Review
Gr 2-4-Both titles explore their subjects' childhoods, families, siblings, education, and college life-Kate and William met at the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland-plus their engagement, wedding, and charity work. In Middleton, Kate's interest in fashion is explored, as is how she became part of a royal family. In William, readers learn about the prince's attendance at the Royal Military Academy, his service in the Royal Air Force, how he has taken on Princess Diana's charity work, and his status of being second in line to be the king of England. Full-page, full-color photographs are supplemented with clear descriptive explanations, and "Did You Know" quick-fact boxes and eye-catching graphics appear throughout. Each title ends with a "Snapshot" page summarizing basic facts on each person. With their large print and one or two paragraphs per page, these books are a good fit for beginner and transitional readers requiring basic information for biography assignments. They will also appeal to reluctant readers desiring to know more about these celebrated royals.-Janet Weber, Tigard Public Library, OR (c) Copyright 2012.
