The latest in the successful Who is ... ? (or Who was ... ?) series is
Who Is Wayne Gretzky?![](http://ir-ca.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=1972summitser-20&l=as2&o=15&a=0448483211)
The elementary children series looks at famous people - past and present - and tells their story. Gail Herman and Nancy Harrison write Gretzky's story, hitting all the major talking points nicely but without including unnecessarily too much. It's just a perfect fit. Ted Hammond provides the series' trademark illustrations
As a kid I would have loved such biographies. The series includes
Who Were the Wright Brothers?![](http://ir-ca.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=1972summitser-20&l=as2&o=15&a=0448479516)
,
Who Was Isaac Newton?![](http://ir-ca.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=1972summitser-20&l=as2&o=15&a=0448479133)
and
Who Was Jackie Robinson?![](http://ir-ca.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=1972summitser-20&l=as2&o=15&a=0448455579)
This is a fantastic series that should be in elementary school libraries and classrooms, but in parents' homes. I know I will be getting a few for my nephews over the next few eyars.
