The Young Profiles series introduces early readers to six popular rising stars. Each biography covers their accomplishments, their energetic personalities, and their dreams for the future. Fun facts, revealing quotes, and personal anecdotes provide the reader with an intimate look at their favorite role models. Full-color photographs and lively, up-to-date text fill the pages of these dynamic, easy-reference books.
Gr 3-6-Two celebrity biographies. Generally, the style of writing is akin to a teen-idol magazine article, with just the major facts being reported and then only those that are as flattering as a press agent's release. Will Smith profiles the career of one of the stars of Men in Black and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. A one-page biographical sketch (age, birth date, hobbies, family, etc.) is followed by several short chapters, providing some general information on Smith's days growing up in Philadelphia, how he broke into show business, his family, etc. Following the same format, Brandy introduces the young star of the TV series Moesha. There is not much depth in these books, but younger readers wanting information on their favorite stars might be interested. The writing style and tone just might appeal to older reluctant readers. The layout is colorful and attractive, and the many photos are inviting. Much of the information, however, can be found in standard reference works such as Current Biography (Wilson) or Biography Today (Omnigraphics).-Roxanne Burg, Thousand Oaks Library, CA Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
