Simply outstanding!  This remarkable resource is an essential ingredient for all middle and secondary schools, and elementary libraries should look carefully at this resource for fourth and fifth graders.   -- The Social Studies Educator (http://edla.aum.edu) (March 2000)

In addition to high-profile individuals . . . it includes others whose contributions were less celebrated but nonetheless left their mark on American life.  With the addition of these lives, the value of the Encyclopedia of World Biography has increased.  -- Rettig on Reference on gale.com  (February 1999)

These essays use simple language and explain terms that might be unfamiliar to young readers...the entries are readable and quite useful.  --ARBA, August 2008

Readable and quite useful.   -- ARBA (January 2003)
