4.0 out of 5 stars Nice children's introduction to Henry Ford, January 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Henry Ford: Big Wheel in the Auto Industry (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Inventors & Scientists) (Paperback)
I toured Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Estate and I've had some fascination with Ford for years. This was a very entertaining, informative booklet that contains a few dozen of the bigger (and less controversial) elements in his life. The images are fine but not exceptional, in my novice opinion. The book cover and paper seem to be made of quality materials. This is $6.95 and Amazon has placed it on it's 4 for 3 list, so, you can purchase 4 such books for $20.85. I struggle when I see that the purchase price for used copies is less than $1, leaving me to question if it's really worth it. Personally, I liked it and I recommend it as a fine book for children. I think that this series contains enough facts and is sufficiently interesting and focuses on interesting characters throughout (mostly recent) history that it is worth obtaining in elementary school libraries, historical book stores, and of course for families. I give everything a grade and I believe that this product merits a grade of "B+".
