Children who read this book about Martin Luther King, Jr. will appreciate the struggles and triumphs that he faced throughout his historic life. The author presents interesting and rarely known facts about Dr. King, such as how he skipped grades 9 and 11 because he was such a good student. Throughout the book there are several highlighted terms relevant to the Civil Rights movement that are defined in the back of the book. Short 2 to 4-page chapters are written at a low reading level and printed in a large font size to facilitate access for beginning readers. There are wonderful photographs and illustrations depicting Dr. King's life along with a timeline of his life, related web sites and an index for quick reference. Overall, it is a well-written account that will inform young researchers about this great American hero. It is part of ABDO's Buddy Books "First Biographies" series. 2001, ABDO Publishing, CaudillBook Details
