Nice children's introduction to Henry Ford
I toured Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Estate and I've had some fascination with Ford for years. This was a very entertaining, informative booklet that contains a few dozen of the bigger (and less controversial) elements in his life. The images are fine but not exceptional, in my novice opinion. The book cover and paper seem to be made of quality materials. This is $6.95 and Amazon has placed it on it's 4 for 3 list, so, you can purchase 4 such books for $20.85. I struggle when I see that the purchase price for used copies is less than $1, leaving me to question if it's really worth it. Personally, I liked it and I recommend it as a fine book for children. I think that this series contains enough facts and is sufficiently interesting and focuses on interesting characters throughout (mostly recent) history that it is worth obtaining in elementary school libraries, historical book stores, and of course for families. I give everything a grade and I believe that this product merits a grade of "B+".

Great for elementary school
The books in this series are all great! If you try to research many of the inventors and scientists in the series based on articles on the internet, you'll find that they are frequently written on a level well above what an elementary school student can understand. This is particularly true of Luis Alvarez. These books are well-written, include fun illustrations, pictures, and cartoons, and are easy to understand for children. I would say they are on a 3rd-5th grade level, and they are about the right length to cover the basics without becoming tiresome for kids. Well done!
