Miley/Hanna for the Younger SetDecember 4, 2008 Pam Tee 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This cute 32 page book is for the 2nd to 5th Grade crowd. The subject is Miley Cyrus aka Hanna Montana of television fame.
The book is entirely wholesome with nothing that I could find to object to in either verbal content or pictures.
The chapter headings are:
An Overnight Sensation Family Ties Word of Mouth Country Life A Rising Star Dreams Come True Good Friends On the Road Buzz Snapshot Important Words Web Sites Index
Besides these chapters, there is a glossary at the end of the book where words like accent, debut and line dance are defined. There is also a "fact" sheet where bullet items tell us things like where Miley's homes are and when she was born.
All in all, this book will appeal mostly to young children that like "Hanna Montana" television show. The book follows the format of the other "Big Buddy Biographies" which means that on nearly every other page there are full page photos, most of which show Miley with either her family, friends (like the Jonas Brothers), or fans.
The Accelerated Reading Level (ATOS) for the book is 3.8 which means that the average entering 3rd Grader in the 8th month of school should be able to read it without getting frustrated by the vocabulary.
The principle value of books like this is that they promote reading. Both my daughter and son (8 and 6) read it. A good choice to get from the library.
