Gift-giving condition. 34 pages; color illustrations; Braille alphabet. For ages ca. Grades 1-4. Language: English. 'An appealing introduction to the Frenchman who invented the raised-dot alphabet/code now used around the world by blind and visually impaired readers. The text is simple yet informative, tracing Braille's life from the childhood accident that caused him to lose his sight through his career at the National Institute for Blind Children in Paris. Adler sprinkles in interesting facts about early 19th-century France that help readers better grasp Braille's world. The development of the alphabet/code is a major component of the book and is explained in an understandable manner. Primitive alphabet systems for the blind are discussed along with Braille's determination to replace them with his less cumbersome one. Readers can feel the alphabet and numbers from 1-10 at the back of the book. Softly colored illustrations in line and watercolor add visual clues for younger children. An excellent resource.'--Maura Bresnahan, School Library Journal, 1997. Keywords: juvenile, biography. (more information)

Front flap is CREASED. 209pp, Index, Bibliography, maps, B/W photos. Language: English. Grades 6- up. 'The most up-to-date history and analysis of this country available and the only one accessible to the middle grades. The physical geography of the country and the ethnic and cultural nature of the population are examined, but the emphasis is on Cambodia's history from the early Indianization with its Hindu and later Buddhist influences, through the long but characteristically unstable period known today as the kingdom of Angkor (802-1431), and into the struggles of this century. The depth of research is impressive, and text inserts contain such interesting tidbits as traditional proverbs, revolutionary songs, and first-person accounts. The inclusion of timelines is helpful in sorting out the numerous comings and goings of the Thai and Vietnamese. This balanced account of all the players helps readers to understand the difficulties faced by Cambodians as they try to establish stability. Each chapter has an annotated bibliography helpful for further investigations' --Susan Middleton, School Library Journal, 1991. (more information)
