Inside - Who Was Neil Armstrong

Inside - Who Was Davy Crockett

Kids—even kids who don't normally enjoy reading—love these WHO WAS? books. Your library kids will be asking for more and more titles!

Each book is fun to read because it is liberally illustrated and the information is easy to digest. Plus, each book is written more like a story and contains truly interesting lessons about each person, place, or event.

Even adults like reading these books because the story is full of unique details and little-known facts that adults may not remember from their school days. And as one gets older, you realize how much can be learned from the past; so revisiting persons and events from history can provide important lessons for both young and old.

Please Note:Some books may have a small non-returnable mark on the spine.

If a title is out of stock we will substitute with another title from this series.
