Choosing a Biography

When selecting a book, it can be helpful to scan the book to be sure it will suit the purpose and that you will find it interesting.
With a book in hand, consider the following:

 Does the title and cover illustration catch your interest?
 Consider the chapter titles: do they show the person's experiences and contributions?
 Are there pictures and photos that enrich the story of the person's life?
 Is there a bibliography that shows the resources the author used to insure that the facts are accurate?
 Is it the right reading level for you?
