I have purchased at least eight of the "Who Was . . . " books for my eight year old nephew and he absolutely loves them. They are written in such a way as to make any subject matter interesting. His 2nd grade teacher also recommends these books to her class.

My daughter used this book as part of her source for a speech that she did on Annie Oakley. It made the info interesting to her. It was age-level appropriate, which was nice. Some of the other books that she checked out at the library were very dry and she lost interest in them quickly. This series seemed to keep her interest. Great book!

We bought this and a few others. They are informative and easy to read. Children can glean facts without too much difficulty. Fascinating topics and plethora of information. Follows character from birth to death to get complete story. Love it!
