Who Was Marie Curie?

I've loved this series for several years initially giving them to my godchild and now to my children. They are easy to read biographies. This one of Marie Curie was my daughter's favorite: glad that she's learning of smart women who were independent and strong. Parents: be aware that the books do mention the themes of birth, death, cancer, war, sexism, violence, etc.

Nice book for the kids aged around 10.

I can't say enough about these "who was" books. My granddaughter (age 7) loves reading them and learning about great historical figures. I have never seen her so interested in reading! Yes, these books do tell the truth about a subject and the time frame in which they lived. This can be objectionable and/or disheartening to some but these are facts, rather one agrees with them or not! The reality of life is people can achieve greatness! They can also fail on their journey. They can also overcome their mistakes. We have read 3 of these "who was" books so far and I think all of these books inspire young people and open the door for additional discussion between the young reader and an adult. I will be buying more "who was" books.

We have multiple books from this series. Our children love them. The illustrations are not too "babyish" and there are lots of pop-outs in the sidelines that dive deeper into the story. I also like that they include personal details about the person such as their interests when they were young.

I donated these wonderful readers to the kids section of our local library. I am excited to know that children will learn about these historical people.

Love these books. My son, who is 9 has been reading them for a little over a year now and this book is wonderful. I must say that this one is not one of his favorites. He is a history junkey, lol. He so far seems to love the Jackie Robinson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E Lee, What is the world series the best as a 8 and 9 year old. I also read these to him in the evenings and I really enjoy them as a 40 year old father. I have learned so much from them as well. Sometimes I read them before or after my son in order to have an educated discussion with him about the subject of the book. I really also get alot out of them as well.

We love this whole series! Each book contains such interesting facts about the person featured. So educational but children don't even realize how much they are learning. Highly recommend!

My 7yo loves these books. I love them because she is learning important parts of history when she reads them, and is helping expose herself to great role models.

I enjoyed reading it.

Excelente contenido

キュリー夫人って読めなかった。笑 二度のノーベル賞って凄すぎですね。勉強になりました。

Excelente colección de libros que recomiendo a todo el mundo que tenga niñas y/o niños y que además de practicar el inglés quieran aprender sobre grandes personajes de la historia.

My 7 year old daughter loved this book. It was her first big girl book.:) She even dressed up as Marie Curie for world book day at school. We are now planning a trip to the museum in Paris to see her work. You can tell it really made an impression on my daughter.
