The Who Was series is a great learning tool for kids and adults alike. The books are easy to read with great artwork included. As my kids and I read these we learn so much.This book about Henry Ford was fun. We liked learning how he built his empire and was the leader in the assembly line as well the automobile industry. We also learned he had a particular stance on Jews. I never knew that about him.
My son doesn't generally enjoy reading so when I picked up s few of these books to give it a try, he loved them. I now own over 30 of them, and each one had been fun to read. My son started testing them in 5 grade. I highly encourage people to purchase these books.
We bought this for our eleven year old before we visit the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. It was a very quick, enjoyable read for him (finished the book in an hour). Our son says he would recommend this to anyone wanting a brief overview of who Henry Ford was.
My son used this for a book report. It is kid friendly without being immature if that makes sense. It had all the information he needed and was organized and easy to read.
This is a fun but also educational series. All the "Who Was" series are great books and definitely worth the price. THIS IS A MUST BUY!!!!(~:
My daughter loves these books and as long as she is reading it is a plus. The educational value in these books is great as well.
My kids love these books! And I love that they love them. It's a great way for kids to learn about historical people.
I Loved this book a lot ! I learned a lot about Henry Ford and the Ford Company . I suggest you read this book !
