What Was the March on Washington? by Kathleen Krull, Who HQ

3.0

The "Who Was..." books are SUPER popular at my library and now they're publishing "What Was..." as well, so I wanted to pick one up to see what they're all about. I can see why the kids like them: they're no-frills introductions to people and historical events written at about a third-grade level. Illustrations and side-bars make the text a very quick read, while still being informative. Back matter includes a bibliography and timeline. Some publisher sent us a poster showing all of the "Who Was" covers. I put it up by our biography section and now those books are never on the shelves! If you don't have them for your library shelves, you should definitely order them!
