      This is written in more of a traditional biography style. It has a table of contents, a glossary, bibliography, and index. But it's set up like a picture book, with large historical photos and large text for new readers. First graders won't need Mom's help to read this one, and it's a great way to introduce young children to the format of a nonfiction reference book.
