About Dave Thomas: Honesty Pays
"The book doesn't beat readers over the head with its message about good values, letting it come across more subtly thanks to the way Kramer shapes the text. The bright, shiny format features good-size print, and the many interesting, color photographs give the book pick-me-up appeal."--Booklist, April 1, 2005
About the series
"This series tries to find a balance between the life of fame and fortune and the struggles, heartaches, and triumphs experienced by the subjects. The series reminds readers that just because you are famous the realities of life do not disappear. For students looking for a biography of a famous person, this series is a good choice."--Library Media Connection, November/December 2005. |
