Editorial Reviews

Columbus is explored in another "First Biography Buddy Book" series title. All of the books in this series follow the same, well-organized format. Each book opens with "Why Is He (She/They) Famous?" followed by one or more short chapters on the subject's youth. "First Steps" describes how the subject launched his career. The information on Columbus is presented in large, easy-to-read type. Emphasis is on his achievements as an explorer of many lands rather than his "discovery" of America. His voyages were risky experiences, compounded by the uncertainty of the presence of sea monsters and a bored, flea-ridden crew. The graphics expand upon the text, but the illustrations are a hodge-podge of archival drawings, maps and jarring coloring-book art. Back matter includes a chart of Columbus' voyages, websites, glossary, index and important dates. 2001, ABDO, $21.95. Ages 5 to 8. Reviewer: Candice Ransom
