        These short, illustrated books capture the lives of famous individuals with accessible prose. Each book spends considerable time explaining the childhood experiences of its subject and manages to give readers a sense of the individual's personality and motives. All but "Tallchief" and "Houdini" have bibliographies. Timeline. [Review covers these Who Was? titles: "Who Is Maria Tallchief?, Who Was Amelia Earhart?, Who Was Harriet Tubman?, Who Was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?, " and "Who Was Harry Houdini?". ]
