Good beginner book for kids needing help in visual history & visual literacy

Part biography collection, part history of photography, this book mentioned some names in photography that I never knew, and it's an interesting group, in chronological order.

Good, simple book to learn from, with some great picture examples. Not a tough read, far from comprehensive. Probably a great work for a middle school history class, a guide to assist with visual literacy and new methods of interpreting history.
