Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: A Man Called Garvey: The Life and Times of the Great Leader Marcus Garvey (Majority Press Wisdom for Children Series) (Paperback)

The style and tone of this book are excellent for young readers. The young reader will end this book not only knowing the story of the great Marcus Garvey, but feeling closer to the man and the emotions behind his struggle.

Before you give this book to your children; however, you may want to take correction fluid and black pen in hand, read through it and fix some of the typographical errors that somehow sneaked into the publication.
