Customer Reviews

Excellent

Not only encourages reading, but also an interest in history and science. I like to have my kids read the Kids Can Press biographies because it gets them thinking about what they can do when they grow up.

Perfect for the Classroom Library

I teach 6th grade reading. This book is perfect for the classroom library. Students need to read a variety of non-fiction. I have found that most students love reading biographies. This is a must buy for the classroom.

Excellent chldren's introduction

I pulled this book from the university library shelves as I was searching for a good example of a children's biography. For the photobiography genre, it is the best I've seen. The layout and design are excellent. It is informational, engaging and inviting. The layout breaks down a potentially boring subject and bridges the gap between dated photographs and modern sensibilites. This book is a good choice both for casual reader and student seeking information for a report.
