Great History Book
My son and I read this book this summer for his summer reading program. Not only did my son, who was 7, enjoy the book but I couldn't wait to learn more from our readings. We read the book in two days. I am suggesting this book to his 2nd Grade teacher this year. This is a must to read book!!!

Why no grownup biographies of George Washington Carver??
I'm sure this book is great, and I just ordered it. But am I the only person who is baffled, disgusted and outraged that there apparently are NO adult biographies available on this great man? I did a search on biographies on Thomas Edison, one of Carver's compatriots, and the list of those stretches from here to Menlo Park. The fact that I could find more biographies on Joey Buttafuoco than on George Washington Carver says it all about the United States of America. I am acrymonious.

I liked this book a great deal because it gave you alot of information such as George invented peanut recipes.The author made you feel like you were actually in the book.It made me feel like I wasn't even reading the book.I think that this book is a great choice to read.
