Teacher In Focus

“With these two books, Advance Publishing launches its new ‘Another Great Achiever’ series, featuring the life stories of America’s great achievers.  In George Washington Carver, What Do You See? we learn about one of our country’s greatest scientists.  Born a slave during the Civil War, rejected as a student because he was black, Carver triumphed because of his burning thirst for knowledge—and his ability to see the extraordinary in ordinary things.
    “Although Abraham Lincoln never experienced the racial discrimination Carver did, his life was marked by personal tragedy and political setbacks.  As a child, he lost his mother; as a parent, he lost all but one of his four sons.  As a politician, he often seemed washed up.  But as the 16th president of the United States, he became one of the most influential leaders in American History.”
    Teacher In Focus, Dec. 97/Jan. 98

     Education Research Analysts

    "Advance Publishing has also begun the 'Another Great Achiever' series by various authors.  These are attractively illustrated, 48 [50]-page hardcover biographies each featuring the life and accomplishments of an outstanding God-honoring American."
    Education Research Analysts, Organization headed by Mel and Norma Gabler, Longview, TX

    "Each of the books in this series is a goldmine of intriguing detail placed in the easily read chronology of a true life story. Such books provide the perfect media with which to introduce biographical literature to the primary reader. The biographies are presented in a way that will attract even the reluctant non-fiction reader. They are priceless resources for both personal and classroom libraries!"
    Lydia Doctorian, Fourth Grade Teacher, Macon, MO.

     "Favorites of mine are the `junior biographies,' which provide young readers with genuine American heroes to admire. In this day when role models are hard to find and when so many adults whom children are expected to look up to are miserably miscast, it is refreshing to see literature prepared for them which extol men of real character like Carver and Lincoln."
