Gr. 3-4. The History Maker Bios series offers fairly simple biographies of well-known historical figures, concentrating on their lives as adults and on the contributions that made them famous. The pages are crowded, and the reproductions of period paintings, engravings, and artifacts do not blend well with the cartoonlike pictures that sometimes appear on facing pages. Still, the texts offer basic information that is on target for middle-grade children. Madison presents the life of brave and gracious Dolley Madison, who first served as widower Thomas Jefferson's hostess, and then welcomed guests to the People's House as First Lady after James Madison became the fourth president. Jefferson surveys the life and work of the man who considered his presidency less significant than some of his other accomplishments. Each book concludes with a time line, bibliographies, and short lists of suggested Web sites. Check the Series Roundup in this issue for other titles on famous Americans. Carolyn Phelan
