Book Reviews of Tales Of Famous Americans

Book Review: My 7 year olds favorite!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of my son's favorite books. It's a great sample of different Americans, each making their mark in our history. The pictures catch his attention and the content is just enough for him to want to learn more about each person.(which makes me happy too!) He is able to read the stories, but they are still a bit challenging for his level. It'd be great if they'd make this a series.
