Who Was Marco Polo?

This series of books by Joan Holub are PERFECT! 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade and up! Pictures and larger print help so much when getting a young 9yr old to read about history. When they are a bit older, this is a great book for them to read alone and be captivated! The facts are spot on and it is so helpful when not going into WAY TOO MUCH detail about something you know your kid will never remember! It is just the right amount of story to make them reading it possible! Strongly recommend any of her books in this area. Thank you Joan! Now keep coming out with more!! :)

Nos pidieron en el colegio el libro es practico y muy linda calidad las hojas

I like this series of books. Easy for son to read and filled with historical information. I didn't love the sneaky prosthelytizing on page 20. There is no historical or scientific proof that Muhammad rose to heaven, but I'm hoping that was the only mistake in the book.

Learned alot

I agree with reviewers who commented on other books in this series-- these are an excellent introduction to biographies and chapter books. My husband and I have read almost all of these "Who was..." books to our now 11 and 9 year old over the past year. I find them easy to read aloud and appropriately illustrated. They lead our family to deeper discussion of the person or history and politics of the time. Marco Polo is my nine-year-olds favorite bio. I found the Einstein bio to be very interesting, my husband like Darwin, my three-year-old liked Edison, and my nine-year-old son's favorite was Annie Oakley.

My son is using this book for a book report. He has to dress up as Marco Polo. Great this is a book you can take the AR test for school.

My students are in a 5th and 6th grade gifted class and all really enjoy the entire series of "Who Was?" "Who Is?" and "What Was?" books for their AR (Accelerated Reader) goals. These series are all classified as nonfiction, with book level from 4.5-6.0 and they are worth 1 point. They enjoyed reading about Marco Polo and his travels.

I love this series! They are great, easy-to-read, fact based biographies that my children have grown up with. Sacagawea was our first book because of my daughter's obsession and from there we moved to other strong historical women, such as Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart. Then we would find subjects to correspond with whatever my kids were studying at school. Really, really recommend this series!!!

Good stuff

I liked the presentation which was appropriate for a child of eight. It was a present. Next time I would buy a book in this series celebrating the achievements of a woman.

Genial

J'ai acheté deux livres de cette série "who was Marco Polo?" et "who was Napoleon?" pour mon fils de 8 ans en CE2 dans une école bilingue. Le niveau est parfaitement adapté. Livre très intéressant à lire.
