George Washington Carver (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 1)

Perfect for grandchildren learning about famous self-made people.

My kindergartener grandson has taken off with reading & this book is good for his level. Easy to read, yet full of facts & information about George Washington Carver. I got it for him because when I was a child I'd read about Carver & was so impressed with his life that I wanted my grandson to know about him, too. Carver was an amazing man, part of our American heritage, & every kid should know about him. The book opens up discussion about slavery, agriculture, scientific research, & the culture Carver grew in.

My daughter ia really into black history and wanted this for her bday. She still reads this to this day. It is very knowledgeable and easy to understand for younger kids

My grandson did a report on GWC for school. I was thrilled as GWC was a favorite on mine in a hill way back over 50 years ago. Always keep learning new things.

Excellent bio for young children. I couldn't believe how interested my 4 year old was and the details he retained from just one reading. He was amazed to learn about Carver's life and accomplishments. I even learned a few things about Carver myself. It was also a great (and age appropriate) way to introduce what it was like to live in that point of history, as the book touched on slavery and segregation. Please keep these bios coming!

I love these books. I'm constantly looking for interesting nonfiction texts for my classroom. These are perfect for my third graders and they can not get enough of them. Kids are constantly coming up to me and telling me new facts that they have learned from the books in this series. Great for science, reading, social studies, history, vocabulary, etc. Highly recommended!

This was a great read for my grandson. This was a good book for Black History month.

The National Geographic books for kids is useful for classrooms everywhere. It is easy to read and understand at 1st - 2nd grade level.Because of the violence and controversies in our country, books such as these help the children understand our world a little better in an un-biased way. Highly recommended!

We returned the book as it's 4 pages and cover was torn. Otherwise its good

The information within, is informative, however, perhaps for older children as it speaks of slavery. For my little one 2 and 4, I was hoping it would be more about the process of how peanut butter is made. A higher level would be more appropriate
