Mehdi Ebrahimi: Perfect books for kids

Nm12: I received a different set than in other reviews.
I personally love these books and my almost six year old loves them too. We do watch and are a fans of the PBS series; however there is something just special about reading and these keep my son interested. He read all four books back to back when they arrived. Love that he is learning about historical moments amazing people and life lessons about integrity doing what’s right and standing up for yourself. Well written on a level that explains history and we like that at the end are real pictures and a timeline of the persons life.
I would be interested in finding the other box set that was in the other review.

J: These are really great books for kids to learn about great people who made differences in the world. We enjoy reading these books as a family and gives a great introduction to some history to young kids.

Robert Klingsten: These are a great to introduce motivational historical figures to young kids. This set has Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, Abe Lincoln, and Albert Einstein. We borrowed the Albert Einstein book from the library and my seven year old was hooked. These talk about more than just the person, and about what drives their interests. Scholastic sells paperback versions but the hardcovers are very nice for repeated use or sharing, for a few dollars more per book at the discounted price of half off. If you have a growing family or classroom to share these in, or like hardcovers, these are nice ones. I got this and the Ordinary Women Change the World Gift Set. My one wish is that they had not overlapped one of the books.

elisselopez: I ordered this book set for my daughter last Christmas and she LOVED it! I did too. These books are incredibly well written and are chock full of information. Over the last year my daughter and I have read and reread them too many times to count. When I ask her to choose a bedtime book to read she usually grabs one of these books. They've managed to pique her curiosity and she's gone on to research more information on her own. When it was her turn for show and tell she chose to share one of these books her classmates and when I was invited to read to her class she chose one of these books. Mr. Meltzer excels at writing complex information in a way that is kid friendly and ultimately captures the young reader's attention in every page. The illustrations are beautiful and fun. Each book ends with a touching, uplifting message that will make you smile and reflect. Since I purchased this set last year I've gone on to purchase several of the individual books. They're all absolutely delightful. I could go on and on about how wonderful these books are but I'll end by saying that if you're looking for positive, uplifting books for a child in your life get these ASAP. You won't regret it!

Lizzy S.: This set is great. Every parent should have it for their kids. Second day we received the delivery of this set my 3 year old daughter already started taking about Amelia Earhart. Brad Meltzer did a great job writing the stories and the illustrations on each book is perfect!

Jason: My son (4 years-old) loves having these read to him. I wasn’t sure if he’d even care, but he’s wanted to read all of them most nights.
