Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-9 Extensive use of color photographs and glossy pages make this series more attractive than Creative Education's "Rock 'N Pop Stars" series, and even reluctant readers will be enticed to these brief but informative biographies. Included are facts about early life and influences, beginnings in the entertainment field and current successes. Clearly shown in both books is the way in which these talented and highly motivated young men rose above humble beginnings, broken families and foster homes, choosing show business careers while still in their teens. The text is in large print and simply written, with vocabulary most young readers will understand. Good quality color photos throughout show family and others important in early life, while further attractions are pictures of scenes from recent movies in which each has appeared. The cover and chapter titles of Prince are highlighted with his favorite hue of purple. These books are appropriate for pleasure reading and research on many age levels, but especially in middle school, where interest in these stars is so high.
