      Grades 2-4 The Big Buddy Biographies series offers simple bios for young middle-graders or older reluctant readers. Each book has only a paragraph or two of text per page, supplemented by snapshots of information or boxes titled Did You Know . . . . Both can be effective ways of incorporating information, though sometimes the tidbits are so inconsequential or obvious they might elicit a chuckle from adults. PSY is perhaps the most informative title in this group; it not only discusses the popular Gangnam Style singer's career but also looks at his life growing up in the Gangnam area of South Korea. The series features a bright, colorful design, good-size typeface, and plenty of photographs, all of which invite young fans.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
