Learn about Martin Luther King, Jr. for young readers,
By Vanessa Clark (Upland, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Picture Book of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Picture Book Biography) (Paperback)
This book will be enjoyed by all students. It really speaks from the heart and instead of continually writing on all the negative stuff that authors seem to write on, i really think that Adler focused on writing on all the positive things that King did for the nation. The book was beautifully written.

Excellent first biography,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Picture Book of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Picture Book Biographies) (Hardcover)
The entire "A picture book of..." biography series byDavid Adler is outstanding. Perfect for lower elementary studentsdoing their first real report. Makes a great read-aloud for non-readers as they are easily completed in one sitting. They are loaded with information including a timeline of important dates. The illustrations in this book are not cartoon-like as in his other biographies of Washington or Lincoln, but are appealing to young children.

My daughter loves this book,
By Michele Wright "Seize the day" (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Picture Book of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Picture Book Biography) (Paperback)
My five-year-old daughter was fascinated with this book even though it didn't include fairies, animals, or dinosaurs. I was very happy with the information they presented which gives some basic information about Dr. King while not treating his death in such a way that might overly upset sensitive children like mine. The illustrations are wonderfully done and my daughter looked them over carefully for a long time. It is a wonderful opportunity to launch more discussions about racism and the way we treat other people because of their gender, race, or religion.
