Motocross Freestyle (Blazers, to the Extreme)1 review
Matt Doeden
Capstone Press, 2004
A Great easy book!
This book contains 17 close-up, clear and current photographs of motocross riders in action. The book outlines the types of bikes used, the equipment necessary and safety measures. I feel it is a great book for a young reader interested in motocross. Although it is RL2, I would say it might be a higher reading level. There are words such as suspension, equipment and others that might be ...

Winter at Valley Forge (Graphic History)1 review
Doeden, Matt
Capstone Press, 2006
A Graphic History for Children
This is a great book to use with ESOL students or other students who need help understanding the American Revolution. I find them interesting myself and learn from them too. The books are straightforward and interesting. The graphic form is in color and easy to read. Great for students learning to read in English and having to learn American History too.

Lerner Publications, 2005
A Great Introduction to Aircraft Carriers
For a child with an interest in aviation, this book is a simple introduction to Naval Aviation and the basic aspects of an Aircraft Carrier.
Each page has a main question that a child might typically ask with a short explanation using accessible vocabulary. A short glossary and index are found at the back of the book.

The Alamo, Graphically
This is a graphic history version of the Alamo. I use this series with my ESOL students. It helps them learn English while learning American History at the same time. The Alamo is an interesting part of American History and one they will have to study in their classes.

Doeden, Matt
Capstone Press, 2006
The Gold Rush!
This is a graphic book about Sutter's Mill and the Gold Rush. I use it with my ESOL students to teach American History. It allows students time to learn English and American History at the same time. The stories are made exciting and more interesting than a textbook which they can barely understand.

The Hindenburg Disaster (Graphic Library: Disasters in History)1 review
Doeden, Matt
Capstone Press, 2006
Great Graphic History Book for Kids
This is a fun and interesting book I'm using in my ESOL class to teach American history. My students are mostly from China, Korea, and Japan so graphic novels are even more familiar to them than they are to many Americans. This format allows them to read about events in American History with less text to decipher and photographs to portray how people dressed in certain time periods. The events ...

Rattlesnakes (World of Reptiles)1 review
Doeden, Matt
Capstone Press, 2005
Coil Up with this Easy to Read Book!
Rattlesnakes by Matt Doeden is a very short, but informative book for young readers. Since it's so short, I think this would make an ideal introduction to Rattlesnakes for beginner readers who are making the transition to chapter books. While this is not a chapter book, it's written in such a way as to be clear, concise and easy to understand. There is a glossary in the back, so words that ...
