Review by Horn Book Review

[cf2]Jefferson[cf1] offers an adequate introduction but occasionally gets bogged down in detail (however, his sexual relationship with Sally Hemings is included as fact). [cf2]Keller[cf1] reads more smoothly. Black-and-white drawings and boxed sections on topics such as the Boston Tea Party and Braille expand the biographical information, but the overall presentation is lackluster. Timeline. Bib. [Review covers these Who Wasà? titles: [cf2]Who Was Thomas Jefferson?[cf1] and [cf2]Who Was Helen Keller?[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010.
