Children's historical biographies4
I'm collecting and reading this entire series of historical biographies for children. I enjoyed the Benjamin Franklin edition. I question calling these books "A photographic story of a life" since some, such as Ben's, took place before photography was invented. Other than that, they are a short, informational read with nice pictures.
