The War in Korea: 1950-1953 by Robert Leckie. I find them to much more readable and “narrative” than more recent biography series for that age group, which sometimes tend to be dry and factual and focused on the adult lives of the biographical subject.
I recommend them for second to fourth graders who want to read about real people. The bios focus on the childhood years of the subject, hence the series title, but do give information about each person’s adult life as well. They’re written on a primary grade/easy chapter book reading level, and the stories are engaging and adventure-filled. They are a series of somewhat fictionalized biographies of almost all of the famous Americans you can think of.
I have a young library patron who devours these Childhood of Famous Americans series books. George Eastman: Young Photographer by Joanne Landers Henry. Kate Douglas Wiggin: The Little Schoolteacher by Miriam E. Childhood of Famous Americans series.Īlbert Einstein: Young Thinker by Marie Hammontree. Harry Houdini: Young Magician by Kathryn Kilby Borland. Here’s an annotated list of some of the new/old books I’ve acquired (from thrift stores, used bookstores, library sales, donations) in the past month: I have a lot of older books that are no longer available from the public library as well as some new books that I think will stand the test of time. For those of you who don’t know, I have a private subscription library in my home, mostly for homeschoolers, although others who are interested in quality books are welcome to visit or to join.
