Publisher Description: Did you know that it took more than fourteen years to carve Mount Rushmore? Why were Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln chosen to be carved?

Contributor Bio(s): Jango-Cohen, Judith: - Judith Jango-Cohen's career began in the classroom, where she created lessons to excite her students' interest in science. Eleven years later, after the birth of her two children, she turned to writing full time. Her adventures as a naturalist and photographer have inspired her forty-two books, which cover an assortment of subjects from Bionics to Ben Franklin and from ladybugs to librarians. Besides researching and writing books, Judith also writes science news stories for Scholastic classroom magazines. |
