作者簡介
The amazing award-winning author of nearly 300 non-fiction books for children and young adults, Dennis Fradin is known for his meticulous research, attention to detail and smooth, graceful writing.
Fradin attributes his success in part to years of teaching in the Chicago Public Schools. In order to hold his second graders’ attention at the end of the day, he would spin stories about crayons in distress and birds with broken wings. One such story caught the attention of an editor who asked him to write a series of books about the United States. The SEA TO SHINING SEA series (Children's Press), launched Dennis's career as a full-time author.
Dennis Fradin has written children's books on topics as varied as astronomy, colonial history, the Underground Railroad, slave escapes and scientific discoveries. He has written biographies of Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Jane Addams and Louis Braille, among others. BOUND FOR THE NORTH STAR is his riveting collection of true slave escape stories. THE POWER OF ONE: DAISY BATES AND THE LITTLE ROCK NINE, co-authored with his wife Judy, was a Golden Kite Honor Book.
Dennis has collaborated with Larry Day on two picture books, LET IT BEGIN HERE! and DUEL! with Walker Books. He's completed two dozen TURNING POINTS books for Marshall Cavendish. Along with his wife Judy, Dennis wrote FIVE THOUSAND MILES TO FREEDOM for National Geographic Children's Books, followed by their WITNESS TO DISASTER series. Those books included VOLCANOES, HURRICANES, TSUNAMIS, EARTHQUAKES and DROUGHTS.
The prolific Dennis Fradin is currently awaiting publication of several books, including a Walker picture book about Samuel Adams' role in the American revolution, one on Bald Eagles and another titled KIDS WHO OVERCAME about children who conquered disabilities.
精彩書評
"Few historic figures have led a life as varied and interesting as Benjamin Franklin's. From chasing a twister to helping write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, Franklin's career was anything but dry and dusty. But in an attempt to make the fascinating material readable for third-graders, Fradin has sacrificed his usual smooth writing style. Here, the sentences are choppy, abrupt, and frequently interrupted by drawings. The sequence of events wanders considerably, as well, which will make it difficult for younger students to follow along. The cover is comically enticing, and there are plenty of small, lively, black-and-white sketches, including scenes from the text and labeled diagrams of typesetting. A time line is appended, but there are no notes, bibliography, or index. This is only for libraries needing additional material. "
