THE CHILDHOOD OF FAMOUS AMERICANS: Set I

from Simon and Schuster

These classic biographies have been praised by parents, teachers, and librarians---and they're big favorites of youngsters from 8 to 12. Each is lively and inspirational, and uses re-created conversations and fictional narrative techniques to flesh out the historical facts of each subject's life. Each book helps youngsters develop an appreciation for our historical heritage and the people who helped create it. The five volumes in Set I are:

• Benjamin Franklin: Young Printer

• Paul Revere: Boston Patriot

• Davy Crockett: Young Rifleman

• Molly Pitcher: Young Patriot

• Crispus Attucks: Black Leader of Colonial Patriots

If you want to get a youngster interested in history, this series is the place to start!
