My son sat and read all the way

Hi I'm so cool I eat chocolate all day long but the best thing ever is when I get a new phone and I have to be a good day to be a good time to get a new one is the best thing ever is when you get a new one is the best thing ever is when you get a new one is the best thing ever is the only thing that would have to go back and I don't think that I have a great way of the year and I don't think that the government of national unity and the other hand is a good time with the same thing to say I have a great way of the year and I don't know if it's the only way of saying it is the most recent version and the only way of saying it is not an easy to play with my friends and family and friends and family members and I have to go back and I don't have the

This series of books by Joan Holub are PERFECT! 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade and up! Pictures and larger print help so much when getting a young 9yr old to read about history. When they are a bit older, this is a great book for them to read alone and be captivated! The facts are spot on and it is so helpful when not going into WAY TOO MUCH detail about something you know your kid will never remember! It is just the right amount of story to make them reading it possible! Strongly recommend any of her books in this area. Thank you Joan! Now keep coming out with more!! :)

I like this series of books. Easy for son to read and filled with historical information. I didn't love the sneaky prosthelytizing on page 20. There is no historical or scientific proof that Muhammad rose to heaven, but I'm hoping that was the only mistake in the book.

I agree with reviewers who commented on other books in this series-- these are an excellent introduction to biographies and chapter books. My husband and I have read almost all of these "Who was..." books to our now 11 and 9 year old over the past year. I find them easy to read aloud and appropriately illustrated. They lead our family to deeper discussion of the person or history and politics of the time. Marco Polo is my nine-year-olds favorite bio. I found the Einstein bio to be very interesting, my husband like Darwin, my three-year-old liked Edison, and my nine-year-old son's favorite was Annie Oakley.

My students are in a 5th and 6th grade gifted class and all really enjoy the entire series of "Who Was?" "Who Is?" and "What Was?" books for their AR (Accelerated Reader) goals. These series are all classified as nonfiction, with book level from 4.5-6.0 and they are worth 1 point.They enjoyed reading about Marco Polo and his travels.

The book was amazing! It was so fun to read and I learned a lot about Marco Polo and about His journey to Asia.

Like all their books, this one is just as good as all the others

Good stuff

Genial

J'ai acheté deux livres de cette série "who was Marco Polo?" et "who was Napoleon?" pour mon fils de 8 ans en CE2 dans une école bilingue. Le niveau est parfaitement adapté. Livre très intéressant à lire.

I liked the presentation which was appropriate for a child of eight. It was a present. Next time I would buy a book in this series celebrating the achievements of a woman.

I love this series! They are great, easy-to-read, fact based biographies that my children have grown up with. Sacagawea was our first book because of my daughter's obsession and from there we moved to other strong historical women, such as Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart. Then we would find subjects to correspond with whatever my kids were studying at school. Really, really recommend this series!!!
