Lives of Extraordinary Women: Rulers, Rebels (and What the Neighbors Thought)

Kathleen Krull

Harcourt Children's Books, 2000

Love it
A friend brought LIVES OF EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN to a huge Thanksgiving feast; the book was never put down, it was constantly being read by one or another parent, teenager, or was being read to a younger daughter. I was surprised by the vehemently negative review posted ...

Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Taking Flight

Kathleen Krull

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008

Excellent Children's Book about Hillary Rodham Clinton
This is a wonderful children's book biography about Hillary Clinton. I am using it in my class along with the children's books about John McCain and Barack Obama. They are all great and good in their own way. They also bring out the personalities of their subjects. ...

Lives of the Artists: Masterpieces, Messes (and What the Neighbors Thought)

Kathleen Krull

Harcourt Children's Books, 1995

What a fun, fun, book.. is it really for children?
I found this book in the children's section of the library, but this is not a children's book; although children might enjoy it. This book is very reminiscent of the "Politically Incorrect Bedtime Stories" series. It's a wonderfully campy little book full of facts ...

Wilma Unlimited: How Wilma Rudolph Became the World's Fastest Woman

Kathleen Krull

Voyager Books, 2000

Running just as fast as she can
Inspirational stories fill hundreds of picture books every year. Most are simply awful. They either tell tales that are loose plots barely supported by facts or they paste together a slapdash concoction of truth and fiction with as little thought as possible. The truly ...

Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez

Kathleen Krull

Harcourt Children's Books, 2003

Si Se Puede
Let's begin by saying that the drawings are super and captivating. Yuyi Morales creates characters that show emotion and the result is a drawing of emotion from the young reader. As the title implies this is the story of Cesar Chavez who many adults came to know about ...

Lives of the Musicians: Good Times, Bad Times (and What the Neighbors Thought)

Kathleen Krull

Harcourt Paperbacks, 2002

GREAT for kids - first exposure to composers tough for little ones
My daughter's piano teacher gave her the assignment to read about Mozart as she started her first Mozart Minuet. My daughter was 7 at the time, and although she was reading at above 3rd grade level, I was shocked to find that there was NOTHING available on the ...

Kathleen Krull

Fartiste

Fun and silly story
Another one of those bathroom humor stories, but with a very cute theme. It can be enjoyed by everyone.

...'Giants of Science: Sigmund Freud' will bring a little Psychologist out in everyone
Sigmund Freud (known as "my golden Sigi" to his mother) wanted to be something great from a very young age. His goal was to make a name for himself, to be famous. However, he did not know exactly what he wanted to do until he began attending school. When he decided to ...

A Po O' Gold: A Treasury Of Irish Stories, Poetry, Folklore, And (of Course) Blarney

Kathleen Krull, HBFC

Hyperion Book CH, 2004

Go for the gold!
This compilation of Irish verse, stories and lore is a treasure. Not only has Krull done an exemplary job in putting it together, it is well illustrated (yeah, I'm a sucker for McPhail's work).
