Shirley Temple: Child Stars

Great book. My 2nd grade daughter used it for her book report and loved it. Great information. An easy read.

A rare biography of the child actress geared to grades 3-4

John Bankston's Shirley Temple appeared some time ago but deserves ongoing mention as a rare biography of the child actress geared to grades 3-4. Plenty of books on Shirley reach adult audiences: this 32-page title is a delight for kids who want to read about a notable successful child star. There could be more illustrations, but the value here is the information which is suitable for a report.
