Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-4?Bourke-White's adventures and accomplishments were many, especially for a woman in the 1930s and '40s, and this book doesn't do them justice. Welch describes her subject's many childhood fears and her early interest in photography, which she turned into a money-making venture after the death of her father. Through her camera, Bourke-White captured the power and beauty of steel mills and skyscrapers. From World War II bombing missions, to the Eleventh Field Hospital, to Buchenwald, she photodocumented history. The vocabulary and sentence structure belie the beginning-to-read format, with large print and ample white space. Hagerman's full-color illustrations have a photographic quality and some are loose reproductions of Bourke-White's work but do not hold a candle to the originals. Sylvia Wolf's Focus (Albert Whitman, 1994) and Emily Keller's Margaret Bourke White (Lerner, 1996) are better choices and include reproductions of the actual photographs.?Charlyn Lyons, Broome County Library, Binghamton, NY

3.0 out of 5 stars
Tough content for the reading level,
By Reader "kpcetal" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Margaret Bourke-White (Library Binding)
This is an interesting book about an interesting woman, but the content is considerably tougher than other books in this series. It is not a happy story, and may be distressing, esp. if the child is a relatively early reader (for ex., many 1st graders would be able for the reading but not the story, while a reasonably worldly 3rd grader at this reading level could well be able for it. Forewarned is forearmed!
