From Booklist:

There’s no shortage of series about celebrities, but, then again, there’s no shortage of fans either. The volumes in the Big Buddy Biographies series have a decidedly “pop” feel with a star motif running throughout, brightly colored backgrounds, and bubble lettering. Each title charts the rise of a superstar, from their roots to megahits to life offstage. In Jennifer Lopez, we learn about “triple-threat” JLo, who can sing, dance, and act. Since Lopez has been a star for a long time, there’s more to sink your teeth into here than in some other volumes, including her stint as an American Idol judge. While ravenous fans will need to look elsewhere for meatier information, the series offers a good starting point, particularly for younger wannabes. Grades 3-5. --Ann Kelley
