Reviews

[Jacob Rosenstein]

very difficult for children. Good for 4th or 5th graders

[Catherine Pieri · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is not meant for young children, but is great for older children when learning information. They will enjoy reading this because it is entertaining while learning about Christopher Columbus.

[Haley Kilgour · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid book for kids about Columbus.

Though there’s some, “he’s not a bad guy” stuff, mostly I feel like this book stuck to fact.

It definitely taught me a few things.
