A Picture Book of Harriet Tubman
Adler, David A.
1994 10017923 Grade 2-4-- Basic facts and often-related incidents from Tubman's life are presented in brief vignettes. Adler includes a description of her as a slave child being whipped for stealing a lump of sugar; as a young woman receiving a serious head wound while intervening between a master and his runaway slave; as an escaped slave and conductor on the Underground Railroad; and a nurse and spy during the Civil War. The easy-to-read, but superficial narrative moves along with lively language suitable for reading aloud. Readers who want more in-depth information are on : their own; no sources for the many quotations or suggestions for further reading are included. The watercolor and colored-pencil artwork is uneven in quality. Many of the full-page, dark-toned, impressionistic paintings are excessively dark and unattractive; Tubman never looks the same in any two paintings. Smith's Harriet Tubman (Messner, 1989) is a more detailed biographical account. Ferris's Go Free or Die (Carolrhoda, 1988) is a good choice for older students.

HAPPY HANUKKAH REBUS
Adler, David A.
1989 5769 Sharon hears from her parents the story that underlies their celebration of Hanukkah. In rebus format. The telling of the traditional Hanukkah story, extremely abbreviated here, is good as far as it goes. Young Sharon puts all her toys on the floor, one after the other, to remind herself of the Hanukkah miracles. Palmer's illustrations are sweet, and the simple but clever rebuses provide readers and listeners a chance to get involved in the story and figure out what is coming next. . Ages 3-8.
