Love these books. My son, who is 9 has been reading them for a little over a year now and this book is wonderful. I must say that this is one of his favorites. He is a history junkey, lol. He so far seems also seems to love the Jackie Robinson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E Lee, What is the world series the best as a 8 and 9 year old.I also read these to him in the evenings and I really enjoy them as a 40 year old father. I have learned so much from them as well. Sometimes I read them before or after my son in order to have an educated discussion with him about the subject of the book. I really also get alot out of them as well.
This is my son's first book from the Who Was...series, and he really enjoyed it. I had told him a bit about Roberto Clemente a few years ago but this gave him more details. I read some of it myself and can see it is well-written and informative. The Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein books are next!
Our students really like this book. Roberto Clementon was one of the greatest baseball player. Our students who love baseball this a good read I love the series of Who was. These books are really good for 3rd through 6th grade studentsThe history in these books are so correct and lots of information
