Reconocida artista mexicano-americana (Celebrated Mexican-American Entertainer)

K-Gr 2-This series provides readers with up-to-date information on several familiar faces. Each book is divided into six or seven short chapters that outline basic facts, such as the early lives of each personality and their notable accomplishments. A time line of their life, as well as a glossary and index, are also provided at the back of each book. Simple statements of no more than three sentences appear on each page, along with full-color photographs and simple maps or diagrams that provide additional content. Although these books are factually written and easy to understand, it should be noted that the volume about Melania Trump does not provide balanced information about her husband's time in office, nor does it address the problematic elements of her role as first lady. VERDICT Glossy illustrations make this series enticing, but the lack of historical and social context is a drawback.
