book review
Overall, the book is delightful and a great source for primary readers (grade 2+). The biography is thorough and the language is written in the way that's easy for kids to understand. I also like the fact that the prints are big enough so that the reading doesn't appear too overwhelming despite it being 80pgs. The only thing that I wish it had would be better illustrations. The pictures are a bit sketchy and should be more colorful.
