Women explorers, April 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Women Explorers in North and South America (Capstone Short Biographies) (Library Binding)
I got this book when my four-year-old daughter asked me if there were any women explorers after I told her about Columbus and Balboa. The biographies are about interesting women & they are short enough for a pre-reader's attention span and a nice length for older children to read alone. The author does a great job explaining terms & covering all the women's adventures. I wanted more anecdotes in some of the biographies, however, to make the women more memorable and colorful. Overall, this is a great book to introduce the concept of women explorers. The maps and photographs are wonderful.

Children's book OK for children, February 11, 2008
This review is from: Women Explorers in North and South America (Capstone Short Biographies) (Library Binding)
I bought this book thinking it was a pamphlet or other sort of short document. Since Amazon didn't have as much as a photo, I had no idea it was a children's book. Needless to say, this was a complete waste of money for my research project.
For people who are looking to buy a children's book, though, it's a very easy read and simple to grasp, so it should be good for your kiddos. :)
