How They Croaked

Link to Amazon
Have you ever wondered how famous people from history died, or were murdered? In this interesting informational text you will find out. This book is definitely not for the weak stomached reader. If you are like me, and you like reading this type of book, you will love learning about how different people passed on. If I were recommending this book I would give it to more advanced readers, such as those in middle and high school. 

This very interesting informational text is a great example of the evaluation criteria of organization. Each section begins with a tombstone like graphic noting where and when the person was born and died. Each entry also includes how the person became famous, as well as some of their exploits. Then each entry proceeds to explain, at times in graphic detail, how the person either died or was murdered.
