Dramatic and engaging
What my (now 6 yo) daughter likes is a good story. She can learn anything if there is some dramatic action involved. This story of George Washington Carver's life is just the right length for a young student (kinder to 4th grade). It starts with the drama of the baby GWC being kidnapped and returned. The illustrations are bold and capture the flavor of the text. It's everything you want in a child's book, educational, morally inspiring, and yet a truly good to read story.

Bought for homeschool
I just love Amazon! This book was part of our homeschool curriculum and was not available at our local library. I bought it at a reasonable price here and donated it! I can't imagine this book not being part of a library!
