A perfect book for the Charlotte Mason method...

My new third grader is using this book for history. The sections are nice and short making them perfect for oral narration. I have found this to be one of the best books my son has narrated from. He has learned a lot of history in a fun and painless way. We also used this book for dictation lessons and copywork.
Excellent history book for youngsters.

This book is more than I expected. What a wonderful collection of stories, nice illustrations. Stories of Great Americans is a great introduction to American History for PK and K children. This review is for the book published by "Lost Classics Book Co.", 1st edition (September 1, 2001), ISBN-10: 0965273520.
Great Book!

My 5-year-old son received this book as a Christmas present. He started it two days ago, and he has been not been able to put the book down. He even wants to read during mealtimes. He also insisted on bringing it to Show N'Tell today. This is a wonderful book for early readers, not only because the stories are educational and interesting, but they are written in a short and simple manner.
Great reading for little kids!

While the publisher says this book is for 9-12 year olds, my 5- and 6-year olds love it! The stories are short - most can be read in a few minutes. They are written in a very exciting, but simple style that grips the attention. It's a hard book to put down. Stories discuss such great Americans as Washington, Franklin, Fulton, Kit Carson, Audubon, Goodyear, and more. I can't recommend this book enough for young readers. It's also suitable for those who are learning to read and want to read something interesting.
