Customer Reviews

Great subject for a children book.

Great subject for a children book. I got this series of books for my daughter and she really enjoyes reading them. Great read and educational too.

i can't wait to get the whole series

This is one of the best biographies aimed at children that I have ever read. The main narrative is interspersed with sidebars about different historical explanations about relevant topics such as the invention of paper, ranking of workers within the guild system, Copernicus, The illustrations by True Kelley are light-hearted, accessible, and they carry the text. How else do you explain a painting?
