Jack's Path of Courage: The Life of John F. KennedyRappaport, Doreen Jack’s Path of Courage: The Life of John F. Kennedy, illustrated by Matt Tavares. Hyperion Books for Children, 2010. $17.99.  PICTURE BOOK.  Telling the story of John F. Kennedy’s life, this book helps readers know a little about Kennedy’s family life, military accomplishments, and achievements earned through writing.  The text is easy for readers of all abilities, but it provides sufficient information to help people learn the highlights of our thirty-fifth president’s life.  While younger readers might not care about learning about John F. Kennedy, some older readers could really enjoy reading this book.  Plus, the illustrations are very accurate; a reader actually thinks that she is looking at a photograph.  EL, MS, HS – ADVISABLE.
