Charming
illustrations and excellent production make this series a perfect fit for
incarcerated and detained youth, and school librarians may wish to order
several sets to share with students.
Each
volume is printed on a single sheet of 11 x 17 lightweight cardstock and
features fine-lined portraits of six historical female figures, some long since
dead and some contemporary heroines. The only text between the covers is
the names of the women, making the content fun to browse and giving the developing
reader plenty of space. The back covers feature three to four lines of
handwritten text summarizing each woman’s accomplishments.
Younger
readers may be confused as the descriptions are written in the present tense,
however the educator can use this possible confusion to spark an inquiry
project. Highly
recommended.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
