Customer Reviews
The audio book is narrated by Will Stauff who has a pleasant voice to listen to.
This book tells the stories of several heroes during the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The stories are engaging, and great to keep a young reader’s interest.
You will learn the remarkable accounts of these heroes to apply God-given talents and opportunities to impact their generation and possibly change the world.
This is part of the What a Character Series of books. This is great to listen to as a stand-alone or to accompany your history books.
And I'll add, we are currently studying the American Revolution in the America's Story series and have loved learning more about some of the Revolutionary War heroes by using this resource!
It teaches kids character and inspires them how to invest their lives into achieving something great for God.
This audiobook is a great addition to our library.
The audiobook is narrated by Will Stauff. His voice is clear, and the narration is easy to the understand. Each chapter is between 11 and 14 minutes long.
I recommend having a physical copy of the book since it includes a lot of maps that are nice to look at alongside the stories. It would also be a great option to let emergent or reluctant readers follow the text while listening to the audio. Vocabulary words and definitions are not narrated in each chapter but are gone over at the end of the book as a “chapter” on its own.
The audiobook offers a compelling and informative journey, leaving listeners with a profound sense of gratitude and admiration for those who have served their country.
This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in these hero stories. I appreciate the ease of listening to the narrator, as well as the length of each story; approx 10-15 minutes.
We love to use audiobooks for travelling, and this one is no exception.
