5.0 out of 5 stars Great History Book, August 17, 2001

This review is from: The Story Of George Washington Carver (Scholastic Biography) (Paperback)

My son and I read this book this summer for his summer reading program. Not only did my son, who was 7, enjoy the book but I couldn't wait to learn more from our readings. We read the book in two days. I am suggesting this book to his 2nd Grade teacher this year. This is a must to read book!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Why no grownup biographies of George Washington Carver??, May 28, 2006

This review is from: The Story Of George Washington Carver (Scholastic Biography) (Paperback)

I'm sure this book is great, and I just ordered it. But am I the only person who is baffled, disgusted and outraged that there apparently are NO adult biographies available on this great man? I did a search on biographies on Thomas Edison, one of Carver's compatriots, and the list of those stretches from here to Menlo Park. The fact that I could find more biographies on Joey Buttafuoco than on George Washington Carver says it all about the United States of America. I am acrimonious.
