More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Phyllis Kennemer
Born into a musical family, Cisneros discovered her love of ballet when she was seven years old. At the age of thirteen, she made her momentous decision to become a professional dancer; she devoted her life to that goal from that point on. She was only sixteen when she left her California home to attend the School of American Ballet in New York City for two semesters. Then she began her internship with the San Francisco Ballet. She remained with the San Francisco Ballet for twenty-three years, receiving accolades for her starring roles in major productions, such as Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet, Lambarena, and La Fille mal Gardee. Many photographs in both color and black-and- white feature the highlights of Cisneros' childhood, career, and present life. The story of this remarkable woman's life is told in short, direct sentences using controlled vocabulary, making this book accessible to young and/or struggling readers. Reference aids include a table of contents, fast facts, a time line, a glossary, a list of internet sites, a bibliography, and an index. "Fact Finders Biographies: Great Hispanics" series.
School Library Journal
Gr 1-3-These volumes provide information about the featured women's lives and include both color and black-and-white photos. The print is large and easy to read, perfect for beginner readers. Jemison documents the life of the first African-American woman astronaut. The text is clear and easy to understand. Unfortunately, many of the photographs from Jemison's early life are pictures of large buildings that do not add anything to the text. In addition, the narrative ends in 1994, following her resignation from NASA. Cisneros traces the Mexican-American dancer from her childhood until her retirement from the San Francisco Ballet. On the whole, the volume is well crafted, except for the inclusion of a photograph of a building in Huntington Beach, CA, that is ambiguously identified. Spengler does a good job of presenting the facts of Per-n's life in a way that young readers can understand both her successes and controversies as a political figure. The text is engaging and includes both personal and official photographs. In general, these titles are good for reports and are adequate additions for both school and public libraries.-Melissa Christy Buron, Epps Island Elementary, Houston, TX Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
