Bill and Hillary Clinton are redefining what it means to be president of the United States and First Lady. Their partnership is changing the way we think about traditional roles, both in and out of the White House.

Encourage your young readers to develop an appreciation for cooperation and teamwork with the innovative Partners Iseries. These double biographies not only present the early life and important influences on each subject, they also highlight the cooperation and compromises that are so important for any successful partnership. By looking closely at the special things each member of each team contributed to reach their goals, young readers will understand what it took to make these partnerships work.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-6-Four titles that look at the cooperative and creative efforts of successful pairs in business, politics, entertainment, and exploration. In addition to an enjoyable description of the partnerships, the books also give limited coverage of the individuals' early lives, important influences and compromises, and their contributions toward mutual goals. Large-print texts are separated by bold subtitles; they are all written in a clear and engaging manner with plenty of (unfortunately undocumented) quotes. Most double-page spreads have a colorful graphic or average-quality, full-color illustration. Bill Hanna & Joe Barbera also includes examples of a few of the pairs' popular cartoons. That volume and Ben & Jerry hold the most child appeal. Matthew Henson & Robert Peary is worthwhile for its presentation of the roles of both men in the polar expedition and the historical context it provides.
