I enjoyed Clara Barton because it was very inspiring.
I enjoyed the book Clara Barton because it was a very inspiring book. Whenever she had a goal she would never give up on it. I thought it was very nice she would go all the way to the top just to help people and I think it's a great book for you to read!

A Good Book
When I was younger, I enjoyed read the books in the Childhood of Great Americans Series, and this was one of my favorites. It tells about Molly Pitcher's (no, that is not her real name)childhood and continues to briefly describe her life when she grew up. This book portrays history to young children in an interesting, as well as informative, way. If you like this book, then you will definently ...

Easy Reading for Dyslexia
Our daughter has recently read this book. She has dyslexia and read it without hesitation. She is 10 and the author mentioned in this book how she wrote easy reading for children who needed that type of reading. She targeted the audience perfectly in our situation. I found the book as refreshing as our daughter did. I have purchased the book on Amanzon.Com because it was the first available ...

Augusta Stevenson is a great children's book writer
This book was my daughter's all time favorite. It is easy to read and provides an introduction to the childhood of this famous American. This book is fiction, allthough based on fact, and is fast paced, exciting reading for your 7-10 year old. We have purchased all the titles by this author!

Smart Ben
I thought that it was a good book because I like biographies. I especially liked the part when he went to the Latin School and he couldn't say the poem because the school master gave Ben the wrong poem. I recommend this book to you if you like to read biographies. I also recommend this book if you think that a president's life would be interesting.

A biography that will interest kids!
I found this book in the library when I was teaching a plants unit in my first grade class. Though it was old and the language was outdated as well (particularly in reference to African Americans as "negros" and "coloreds"), I thought I would try it out as a read aloud. My students loved it! It is rare to find a biography of a famous adult that focuses mainly on his childhood. George W. ...
George Washington, Young Leader (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Childhood of Famous Americans)

This is a fictionalized-biography.
Note that this book is a fictionalized-biography about the childhood of George Washington. Only about the last 20 (of 192) pages is about Washington becoming an officer and president. What this story does is show children what it was like to be a child during this time period. I think it does a fine job of that. My six-year-old son enjoyed having this book read aloud to him. Children 8-10 ...

Age Appropriate
I bought this for my 5th grader to use for a school report. It was a fairly quick and easy read for her and she got lots of info about Buffalo Bill's childhood which was not covered as much in other books on Buffalo Bill.

A true history of the toughness of pioneer women
I first read this book when I was in elementary school and enjoyed it just as much when I recently read it again. Born Mary Ludwig, her nickname of Molly was given to her when she was a child. Her famous last name was earned in battle, where she would bring fresh, cool water to troops of the American Revolution. She braved gunfire to do so and she was so active that a wounded soldier had to ...
