Stephanie: Beautifully illustrated but I wish the biographies were more in-depth. The story is so short and too simplified.

SaraSara: I ordered this book because Stephen Hawking has a special place in our hearts as my uncle had ALS. This is a good kid friendly biography of the scientist and the way it addresses ALS is really nice & still kid friendly.
I bought it with my baby still being an infant but would say ideal age is 6-7 probably depending on reading level but if you’re reading to them then never too young!

Gerri Jackson: Great book but not for my 5 year old. I think 7 and up would love it. Trying to make sure the kids have well rounded reading that includes people who can inspire them!

September: This is a decent kids bio, the only one I have found on hawking for the kinder set. I felt it lacked details. I prefer brad meltzer bios but he hasn't written on hawking (yet). This book ended rather abruptly. Also it would have been nice to mention the name if his most famous book and also that he and his daughter have written a couple childrens books. I liked that the book included his wife and notice it did not mention his second wife. Further description of some of his theories, in a child friendly way, would have been nice.
Overall a good book. Felt a little overpriced.

SewAllDay: Gave this as a gift, and the recipient and many other individuals were so excited to see a "male" figure in this series. Props to you, Little People, Big Dreams, for creating a book centered around a male role-model as well. We love all the other Little People, Big Dreams books too!

Alayna: Perfect to introduce biographies to young readers! The pictures are gorgeous, the book feels nice in your hands. It’s big enough to really see the gorgeous illustrations, and it tells the reader about Mr Hawking in a simple, easy-to-digest way without ever making the child feel they are being talked down to. I can’t wait to buy more of these books!
