Reviews
These volumes provide information about the featured women's lives and include both color and black-and-white photos. The print is large and easy to read, perfect for beginner readers. Jemison documents the life of the first African-American woman astronaut. The text is clear and easy to understand. Unfortunately, many of the photographs from Jemison's early life are pictures of large buildings that do not add anything to the text. In addition, the narrative ends in 1994, following her resignation from NASA. Cisneros traces the Mexican-American dancer from her childhood until her retirement from the San Francisco Ballet. On the whole, the volume is well crafted, except for the inclusion of a photograph of a building in Huntington Beach, CA, that is ambiguously identified. Spengler does a good job of presenting the facts of Perón's life in a way that young readers can understand both her successes and controversies as a political figure. The text is engaging and includes both personal and official photographs. In general, these titles are good for reports and are adequate additions for both school and public libraries., Mae Jemison: Space Pioneer is an absorbing read. From cover to cover, the reader is engaged in fascinating facts about this important woman. Jemison knew she wanted to become a scientist when she was a young child. Inspired by trips to Chicago's Adler Planetarium, she asked questions and found answers in library books. Watching Star Trek, she realized that men and women could work together. Jemison worked hard throughout high school, where she learned drafting and advanced math. At age 16, Jemison started chemical engineering classes at Stanford. After graduation she attended Cornell University School of Medicine before working in the Peace Corps. Always interested in learning, Jemison heard in 1985 about a search for astronauts. She applied successfully, becoming the first African American woman astronaut. She was on the crew of the space shuttle Endeavour. Students will be inspired by this fast-moving story as they learn about the life of a highly motivated person. The carefully selected vocabulary and short, direct sentence structure make this 32-page book easy to read. Color photographs enhance the written text. Additional features include a timeline of Jemison's life, a glossary, and an Internet site that provides a safe link to further sites. Students in grades 2 to 5 will enjoy reading this book. They will not only learn about the life of a famous person but also will gain insights into the fact that they, too, can follow their dreams. Hard, steady work pays off.
