4-0 out of 5 stars It was a great book.
I think this book is a very great book! I would recomend it to everyone. You do not need to like biography to read this book! I could sort of relate to Daisy "Juliette" Everybody should read it!

5-0 out of 5 stars A fun read! Very highly recommended
The bodacious Juliette "Daisy" Gordon never hesitated to prove that girls and can do anything boys can do. During the first five years of her life Daisy knew the deprivations of the south during the waning years of the Civil War. She also knew the pleasures of playing in the woods with friends. After General Sherman captured Savannah, Daisy and her family traveled north to Chicago to seek refuge with her mother's family. When the war ended and her northern neighbors celebrated, one small voice cheered the south and sang Dixie. Such bold defense of the south characterized Daisy's strength and loyalty.2-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
As a dedicated Girl Scout volunteer, I bought several of these books thinking I would donate them to local schools.I was very disappointed when I discovered that the story starts with Juliette at about age 5 defending the Confederacy, with family slaves packing for her trip north to escape the war.As an adult I respect the Southern heritage which I share myself.But this is such a contoversial topic I find it difficult to understand why a book for children would start here.I gave the books to my adult friends but would not recommend it for children.Of all the things that Juliette Low did, said and accomplished, I'm confused why a children's author would put such emphasis on this part of her life when she was only 5 years old. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Features an easy, flowing narrative style
Written by Miriam E. Audubon especially for young readers ages 8-12, and illustrated by Cathy Morrison, John Audubon: Young Naturalist is a biography of the adolescence and young adulthood of famous naturalist John Audubon, whose talent for exquisitely and accurately painting birds and learning about wildlife amassed a great legacy that endures proudly to this day. Chronicling him from his early youth to when he met and grew close to the woman he would later marry, John Audubon: Young Naturalist features an easy, flowing narrative style steeped heavily in painstaking research but also woven together with storytelling flair. Now in a new edition, John Audubon: Young Naturalist is twelfth in the Young Patriots series of biographies and especially recommended for grade school libraries.

5-0 out of 5 stars A great book
Amelia Earhart is a very good book. I think every child ages 9 - 12 should read Amelia Earhart because it teaches them to do what you want to do. Amelia's dad was trying to stop her but Amelia said it was her dream to fly. Amelia always liked to see the airplanes take off to fly. I think Amelia Earhart is a very excellent book.

5-0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed reading this wonderful story about Amelia Earhart.
Once I started reading this book, I had a hard time putting it down.I thought this was a super book and I can't wait to read more of the "Young Patriots Series."I highly recommend this book to kids myown age (10 years old).5-0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and inspiring
Amelia Earhart, Young Air Pioneer is well written, delightful and nicely illustrated.A geat read for both boys and girls, ages 8-12, and sure to entertain and inspire. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Definitively researched and superbly presented
Lew Wallace grew up to be a governor, foreign minister, Civil War general, inventor, and artist. But he is best known today as the author of the novel Ben-Hur. Lew Wallace: Boy Writer is the latest entry in the Patria Press "Young Patriots" series and the fascinating story of Wallace as a Midwest American youth who grew up like other boys of his era -- including the occasional playing of hooky from school! Martha Schaaf has definitively researched and superbly presented the life of Wallace from the age of 5 through 19. Also very highly recommended in this outstanding series are: Amelia Earhart: Young Air Pioneer (1882859022, [price]) and William Henry Harrison: Young Tippecanoe (1882859030, [price]. All three titles would make a popular and much appreciated addition to any personal, school or community library biography collection for young readers.

5-0 out of 5 stars Story AND history
Before he grew up to become the author of the best-selling novel, "Ben-Hur," inventor and Civil War general, Lew Wallace was a young boy playing in the midwestern fields and streams who would rather draw than spell, and would rather read than do math. Kids will cheer for Lew's dramatic rescue of his baby brother from beneath the wheels of the family carriage, share his joy at discovering the world of books, and feel his pain at the punishment he suffered in the schoolroom.Read more
