Walt Disney

Simple in formatting and color choices, the series Buddy Books First Biographies by Abdo Publishing offers Walt Disney as one of seven American who might be of interest to children.  Name recognition alone will probably carry children over the bland color pallet of stark white with minimalistic blue and red accents.  Maps of the U.S. are helpful to give student perspective of places where Disney lived.  Pictures are both black and white as well as color, some of which take up a full page.  Large simple font make this the classic 2nd grade biography book.  An additional purchase at best.  Could be purchased for ELL students at upper grades because the name recognition will draw interest.
