"A whimsical approach to biographies sure to appeal to young readers. While promoting inquiry-inspired learning, the question-and-answer format also invites confusion by juxtaposing a cartoon with a real person's story that might leave children wondering what's real. Then there's the 'time-difference factor': Cub asks questions in the present tense, and 'respondents, ' all dead, answer thus--and compare their lives to today. Finally, a disclaimer in each title concedes the 'interviews' aren't each subject's actual spoken words but comprise accurate, researched facts about his/her life. Younger students won't get the distinction. Other missteps: Earhart's disappearance is mentioned only in her time line; Douglass includes the question 'What did you think about being a slave?'. Still, these overviews give a sense of who these people were and are filled with color and high-quality contemporary photos and other visuals. VERDICT: Despite hiccups, a good introduction to biographies, with Sequoyah, Paul Revere, and Wilma Rudolph the best of the series."--School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
--JournalCub Reporter uses his interviewing skills to tell the story of the woman who won gold medals in track and field during the 1960 Olympics and inspired other people to follow their dreams.
