jacqueline: Lean la descripción primero porque yo quería la versión larga y no me di cuenta que era para niños... al final lo leí y se lo regalé a una niñita ❤️

Ecorriher: This book was a great purchase. Gave my daughter and nieces an example of how important math is. And gave good role models as opposed to the pop culture icons of today.

United States on Mar 06, 2023

Cecly Ann Mitchell: This book is perfect for young readers especially those interested in STEM. Highly recommend getting copies (hard copies) for school libraries and programmes encouraging young readers.

Amazon Customer: This book is only a brief resume of each of the four scientists. There is no details of how they lived their lives, just a number of facts about how they became, what they became. The book is seriously short and the illustrations take up the major part of the whole. Very disappointed with my purchase. Thought there would be a much higher content.

Amazon Customer: Written perfectly for school age kids. My granddaughters class enjoyed it.

Kate: I love the movie, and was excited for the picture book. The illustrations in this book are fantastic. Also, the use of vocab in the book is excellent, they use complex words but, always define them in a kid friendly way. This book is a strong hybrid text as it is both a biography, but it also has parts that are almost pure nonfiction with not much story. The other advantage to this book is that it does an excellent job of telling the reader about the time period this took place. Readers learn lots of facts about how NASA came to be, and what life was like for African Americans in the 1950s. This can lead to an excellent discussion regarding how the time period played a role in the lives of the characters. However, I read this aloud to my 3rd graders, and because the book is long (and not always riveting), we read it over a few days. Reading it over a few days was fine, I was just expecting more of a story with non fiction mixed in, this was the opposite. Still glad I bought the book, but, it was different than expected. I can imagine lots of ways I can use this as a mentor text when modeling strategies for reading a hybrid text like this one.
