Customer Reviews
I usually enjoy the audiobook for the What A Character, but the narrator was a bit difficult to listen to for 1 or 2 of the stories on this one. Otherwise, it is a great resource for discussion as you travel in the car or anywhere really. As always, some of of the stories may be intense for the tenderhearted as they contain some war related peril.
This book is great for independent reading, and I t would make a great read-aloud or morning basket addition. These stories would also be really fun to include with corresponding history lessons, and there’s even a list in the back of the book that notes potential books to pair each chapter with. The audiobook is a great bonus!
Overall, I highly recommend this entire series of books for every home library. They’re such a fun way to learn bits of history.
My daughter and I loved learning from all the different people in history in this book. From Benjamin Franklin with how he learned from books on his own, to Francis Scott Key and how he wrote our Star spangled Banner, and all the others in this book. It was good to not have the Christian influence glossed over like many other history readers do, as many that was their driving force.
I do recommend this book.
