Customer Reviews

Perfect for grade-school kids!
We struggled to find books on Payton Manning at our local libraries and even the larger-chain bookstores... nobody had anything useful on their shelves for a grade-school book report. So we bought this one online and it was perfect. It was easy enough for my 3rd-grader to read, and is filled with enough useful information for a book report on Payton's life and accomplishments.

Perfect for the young reader
It's the perfect book for the young reader. Great book for a book report for the elementary school children. My son enjoyed the book and learned a lot about his favorite football player.
