The Time For Kids series is great. I have used many of their products in the past and this selection is wonderful. Kids love reading the information and looking at the great pictures.

My 3rd and 4th grade gifted students found this book informative and thought provoking. It was an easy read yet the concepts gleaned created the opportunity to conduct a Paideia Seminar using this text. I would highly recommend using it to encourage discussion and higher level thinking about slavery and, beyond that, what it means to be courageous.

These "Time For Kids" biographies are a great way to get kids interested in some of the United State's most prolific historical figures. They are inexpensive, and they include a number of great illustrations that will capture a child's attention. As a middle school Social Studies teacher I highly recommend this series of books to anybody who is looking to get a kid or kids interested in history.

This is a kids biography of Harriet Tubman. We learn a lot about her in this book. She helps lots of slaves escape slavery with the Underground Railroad. She always stood up for what she thought was right. She had a lot of courage. She knew that if she ever got caught she would be beaten but she continued to help others. The book was not too long and not too short. It contained the right amount of information for kids...
