I love it when history is presented as it was always meant to be - a Story. This book does so in many little stories, labeled as "fun facts" about a great American icon. I remember watching a 60 min. documentary about Robinson a few years ago - I think reading this book will probably give you a similar experience, but lighter.Yet in my opinion, this is not the only reason for all kids to read it. Another big one is for kids to experience for themselves how three young girls can create a book worthy of publishing. I find this book inspiring, and I am going to use it as an example and show it to quite a few adults that I know are still sitting on half-baked manuscripts and unrealised writing intentions.The book is an easy read, but it also contains a bibliography section for anyone wishing to delve deeper. I read below some comment about typo's in the book - I think this reviewer was being petty. Full marks in my book.
