Book Overview
Neil Armstrong didn't grow up wanting to be an astronaut--because there were no astronauts in 1930. But he did love to fly from an early age, and after serving in the Korean War and then finishing college, he joined the organization that would eventually become NASA. As the first man to walk on the moon in 1969, his comment, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," was heard by millions, and Neil Armstrong's influence on the world didn't stop there. From his early years in Ohio to his NASA career, to his later service as an aerospace professor and on Congressional panels, Neil Armstrong's life is a legacy to be admired, and this narrative biography illuminates his childhood.

Childrens history books

I think that these books are a great way to get kids interested in the people who helped shape our country to what it is today, our freedom, power and our faith. It is simple, easy reading for about second-third grade beginning level. They are full of fun interesting things about the person. I think the whole set of these books should be in every library especially at elementary schools. I myself have enjoyed them and learned alot I didn't learn when I was in school.
Great book!
