A Picture Book of George Washington Carver (Picture Book Biography)

This is a great book about George Washington Carver but I would recommend this book for kids from 3rd-5th grade. I purchased this book for 1st graders and once I was able to look inside and read it,I saw that it was just too advanced for them. The font is small and there are long paragraphs. Also, there is fairly high vocabulary. It's a great book with good info and illustrations but I would not recommend this for younger kids.

Great for teaching young children our history. I loved the pictures. This is maybe for a child maybe about 4 and older. I just wanted to surround my 2 year old with the info even if he didn't get it yet. We have to teach our children our history because they won't learn it from anywhere else.

Shows a lot of guns & a dead man on the ground during war. It’s simple and basic but the themes and events are too Mature for them to process. I wish there were more stories about his character. I don’t think it’s appropriate for younger kids ages 4-6.

Perfect introduction to George Washington for a small child. Entertaining illustrations with one or two brief sentences to whet a child's appetite about our first president. Brief bullet points to give a nice overview, it's not too involved and an educator can choose to introduce more information to match the level of the child. Perfect as a starter book that can begin a unit allowing for a child to pick an area to research for more details. As it is, I find it perfect for the kindergarden set.

My son had a book report for first grade on George Washington and this book gave us all the biography information we needed for the report. I was hoping for more fun facts or cool stories, but for first grade, the book was basic and perfect for the book report. Plan to keep for the next child going through first grade.

My 6 year old had to do a report on GWC. He thoroughly enjoyed learning about this scientific pioneer. He was especially impressed with the story of his childhood. The book is written on a level he could easily understand but still challenged him to employ all his reading skills. The illustrations were quite good and helped him visualize the details brought out in the story.

A great book that does a great job teaching children about George Washington. I will continue to buy this author's books.

I bought this book for my 7 year old. She picked him for her class project and she needed to read his biography from a book, not from the internet. George Washington Carver was definitely an inspiration to his peers as well as all generations that came after him. My daughter really got into this book! She was fascinated by Mr. Carver because he invented peanut butter. I would recommend all school-age kids to read about Mr. Carver, he is truly a woven part of American history.
