Will Rogers: American Humorist

School Library Journal

Gr 3-4-- This easy - to - read, large print, slim biography of the famous Oklahoman is chock-full of photos of the rugged, handsome humorist. The text is clear and direct, written in short sentences that take readers first to Indian Territory, which was Oklahoma's name before it gained statehood, and on through Rogers's life as he traveled around the world. A helpful timeline, a brief index, and notes on the author conclude this well-done book that will appeal to cowboy lovers and report writers alike. --Eowana Bradley Jordan, Westgate Ele mentary School, Manassas, VA
