The media could not be loaded. I purchased this book to assist my fifth grade daughter with her research report on Amelia Earhart. Not only was it completely comprehensive on its own to write the report, her teacher commented that my daughter wrote information that even she didn’t know. Whenever my primary students are working on a report about a famous person in history, I always try and include a “Who Was?” book as part of their resources. Great book. Great series. Highly recommend.

I donated these wonderful readers to the kids section of our local library. I am excited to know that children will learn about these historical people.

Love this book! Such a great read for my daughter and her class.

I bought this to start my daughter off (4th grace) on a research paper she had to do for Amelia Earhart. Buying this allowed her to highlight and 'markup' the key points to give her experience in studying.She was able to color code highlighting as 'facts' and 'interesting facts, not historically significant' which gave her a dynamic paper and speech.The book was an easy read with plenty of facts, in a way that kept her attention. It had both the important and the trivial 'interesting facts' and contained everything she needed to be well versed on the life of Amelia Earhart. She read the complete book in the the time she devours her usual Wimpy kid diaries, so I think it is presented in a way that will keep kids interested.

Wow! This work is magnificent, I was delighted with the story about Amelia's life. It fascinates me that a woman has made history in the area of ​​aviation, a sector that many times, erroneously, is associated only with men. But, Amelia is a woman who has proven that when you want, you can and that gender is not a limitation, Amelia showed that a woman can be as good at aviation as a man can be. The book is missing something, and it is to inquire deeply about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, I would like it to be known one day what led to her disappearance.

muy bueno

I love this series of books. You about history.Kids today don't learn about the holocaust or Sacagawea.
