Time For Kids: Jackie Robinson: Strong Inside and Out (Time for Kids Biographies)
Gr. 2-4. Patrick, author ofMa Dear's Old Green House(see review, p.978) and others, joins the editors of a popular classroom newsmagazine to craft this entry in the new Timefor Kids Biographies series. For readers in the middle to upper range of the weekly's broad readership, these spin-offs, formatted (somewhat misleadingly) like easy readers and emblazoned with the familiar red-and-yellow logo, feature lively journalistic design, excellent photographs drawn from theTime-Lifearchives, and a polished narrative extended with sidebars. In this book, there's a concluding interview (a recurring feature in the series) with Jackie Robinson's daughter, Sharon--whose own, browsablePromises to Keep[BKL F 15 04] is a natural next step. A different writer has collaborated withTime-Life's editorial staff on each book in the series, which currently includes titles on John F. Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt, and Harriet Tubman.Jennifer MattsonCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
