A good foundation report for grades 4 and up on Chinese ruler Mao Zedong

A little over a hundred pages of detail make for a good foundation report for grades 4 and up on Chinese ruler Mao Zedong, one of the most powerful people in the world during his lifetime. Mao grew up in a world ruled by the Qing dynasty, when many longed for change: he came to power in 1949 and China became a Communist nation under his control, which extended throughout Chinese daily life. This excellent primer packs in black and white photos and plenty of discussions of Mao's growing up, involvement in politics, and revolutionary outlook.
