Book Review: 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the very best our family has every read for keeping our interest, not wanting to put it down. We are all adults-sorry no kids live here, unless you can see the kids in us. We're 67,67 37, and 31. Fifty Heroes could not be better. Succinct, excellent, accurate, wonderful in every way. We are going to give copies to our siblings for them to enjoy and to share with all their grandkids when they visit, copies to a couple neighbor kids, a foster grandson, the list will go on and on in time. Besides being succinct, excellent, accurate and wonderful in every way, Fifty Heroes is written so kids can understand and be inspired to be a hero/heroine right away. We cannot say enough about this splendiferous book. Thank you so much for all the toil, sweat, stress, and thoughtfulness you endured to produce this greatest book of 2001. All of us in the Patches household wish you both the very best in your lives and forthcoming publications. Sincerely yours, Roger and Joan
Summary of 50 Heroes Every Kid Shld Meet
Anyone can be a hero. That is the central message of 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet, an engaging work that, in printed form, has informed and entertained thousands of readers nationwide since the year 2000. Now in digital format, 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet features updated information and a tribute to the heroes of 9/11. The authors point out that children ages 15 and younger have no memory of that tragic event. They assert that it is important that all of us connect the heroism of that day to the broader idea of REAL people who, throughout our history, have been heroes. That connection is exactly what 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet provides. This is an interactive, "kid-friendly" book that motivates readers of all ages to explore the lives of REAL heroes. Each of the 50 heroes is introduced through an anecdote that highlights the hero?s qualities and life circumstances. In ?Power Words,? we get to know the hero through his or her own words. A photograph illustrates each entry, and a biography is recommended to encourage us to ?Dive In? to the hero?s story. Rounding out each entry is ?Explore,? where readers are urged to expand their hero experience through hands-on activities. Thanks to the digital format, the reader can quickly visit the many websites that the authors recommend This book?s message is timeless: REAL HEROES make the world a better place, and we must learn about them so that we can strive to be heroic in our own lives.United States Books
