[William Watkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an interesting little read. It was basic and told the story, which is definitely for younger audiences, however I found it interesting to read about Livingstone. The illustrations are really good and I went over the book again once I had finished to look at them properly as I felt they chopped up the story a bit too much. Overall a cool little book (:

Read this so I could convince my young nephew that it is worth reading. I don't know much about the subject, so I can't speak to the accuracy of the text. But I can say that this is one of the few missionary biographies that is readable for elementary kids. Chronicles the life of Livingstone with emphasis on his work in Africa. Pen and ink illustrations every other page. Recommend having a map of Africa handy to better visualize Livingstone's travels.

One of my favorites when I was growing up. I will always remember the opening scene of him with the lion.
