Reviews

[Shelly♥]

Maybe the whole point of this book was to introduce the name of GWC to kids, because that's all it did - and attached it to peanuts. There were a few vocabulary words, but without much of a story, they mean little. This is what standardized learning does to books.

This book is a short read on George Washington Carver. It shows who he was and what he did.
