5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading for little kids!, July 28, 2000

By A Customer

While the publisher says this book is for 9-12 year olds, my 5- and 6-year olds love it! The stories are short - most can be read in a few minutes. They are written in a very exciting, but simple style that grips the attention. It's a hard book to put down. Stories discuss such great Americans as Washington, Franklin, Fulton, Kit Carson, Audubon, Goodyear, and more. I can't recommend this book enough for young readers. It's also suitable for those who are learning to read and want to read something interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

My 5-year-old son received this book as a Christmas present. He started it two days ago, and he has been not been able to put the book down. He even wants to read during mealtimes. He also insisted on bringing it to Show N'Tell today. This is a wonderful book for early readers, not only because the stories are educational and interesting, but they are written in a short and simple manner.
