Series Made Simple
This series explores celebrities and public figures who are revered for their contributions to the arts, sports, world affairs, and human rights. The books are easy to follow, with one or two very basic sentences on each page, and up-to-date photographs that correspond well to the text. An introductory guide for parents and teachers kicks off each book and will let adults effectively lead children through unfamiliar concepts. Key events about each subject’s life and a picture glossary will support the earliest readers.VERDICT A fun and simple series to help little readers build confidence.
