My whole family loves these books, and Amelia Earhart is my daughter's current favorite. We own about seven of the books in this series, and each one is as good as the next. We are planning to collect the whole series. They are a second or third grade reading level but the information is presented clearly enough that younger kids can grasp the essentials. At the same time, there is enough substance that older kids have plenty to think about. Adults can learn something too! I recommend this book, and the whole series, very highly.
This easy to read biography is the best on the market aboutAmelia Earhart! Adler's series is outstanding and this is one of hisbest!From learning about her plucky attitude as a little girl (building a roller coaster in her backyard and pelting boys with mud balls!) to her mysterious disappearance, young readers will be captivated by Amelia Earhart! END
I ordered this book to read with adults with special needs. They really enjoyed learning more about someone they've heard of. Great pictures to keep them interested and enough story give actual facts.
I gave this five stars because it has been such a useful tool to teach equality to my son and daughter. It has boosted my daughters self esteem to read stories about successful women that were not just princesses.
David Adler always does a nice job of presenting whatever or whomever he is covering an interesting and memorable way for young readers. This book on Amelia Earhart, the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean via plane, is no exception. Chronologically telling a little bit about her life, tomboy ways and out spoken views, this is great book for any elementary classroom or library for research or just for fun.
My six year old granddaughter has been exhibiting an interest in history. This book was written at a level that kept her interest. The art work matched the story and also taught her.
great book, toddlers love it as a bed time story
Very informative with great pictures.
