“With these two
books, Advance Publishing launches its new ‘Another Great Achiever’ series,
featuring the life stories of America’s great achievers.
In George Washington Carver, What Do You See? we learn about one
of our country’s greatest scientists.
Born a slave during the Civil War, rejected as a student because he was black,
Carver triumphed because of his burning thirst for knowledge—and his ability to
see the extraordinary in ordinary things.
“Although Abraham Lincoln never experienced the racial
discrimination Carver did, his life was marked by personal tragedy and political
setbacks. As a child, he lost his
mother; as a parent, he lost all but one of his four sons.
As a politician, he often seemed washed up. But as the 16th president of the United States, he became one
of the most influential leaders in American History.”
Teacher In Focus, Dec. 97/Jan. 98
Better Education
“His Another Sommer-Time
Story series and the Another Great Achiever series have been well
received by parents, teacher, and especially children….
“The Another Great Achiever series features
biographies of great men and women of inspiring accomplishment.
Each compelling book takes a fresh look at history through the eyes of
those who lived it. They are thoroughly researched for historical accuracy and
designed to arouse an achieving spirit.
“Also, these series of books are part of the popular
Accelerated Reader software program that helps school children get excited and
challenged about books.”

Education Research Analysts
"Advance Publishing has also begun the 'Another Great Achiever' series by
various authors. These are
attractively illustrated, 48 [50]-page hardcover biographies each featuring the
life and accomplishments of an outstanding God-honoring American."
Education Research Analysts, Organization headed by Mel and Norma Gabler, Longview,
TX
"Each of the books in
this series is a goldmine of intriguing detail placed in the easily read
chronology of a true life story. Such books provide the perfect media with which
to introduce biographical literature to the primary reader. The biographies are
presented in a way that will attract even the reluctant non-fiction reader. They
are priceless resources for both personal and classroom libraries!"
Lydia Doctorian, Fourth Grade Teacher, Macon, MO.
"Favorites of mine are the `junior biographies,' which
provide young readers with genuine American heroes to admire. In this day when
role models are hard to find and when so many adults whom children are expected
to look up to are miserably miscast, it is refreshing to see literature prepared
for them which extol men of real character like Carver and Lincoln."
