Kids Books - Historical

Today I am going to review the book, Who was Milton Hershey? by James Buckley, Jr. This book was published in 2013. This book tells the life story of Milton Hershey from his times on the farm to his creation of Hershey, Pennsylvania. You will learn all about this chocolate king. I enjoyed reading this book because of how much I learned that I never knew before. Also, it was about chocolate! The reading level of this book is about 3rd-5th grade. I would recommend this book for chocolate lovers and people who enjoy learning history.

I gave this book a 4 because Abraham Lincoln was my favorite president and he was one of the best in my opinion. The books talks about Abraham Lincoln's presidency, life , and struggles. He lived during the Civil War, and had to try to stop it. He had 4 kids one died at age 4, and he was very sad. He didn't let it stop him from doing good in life. Finally he fought in the war to serve his country.

i love this book and he is my favorite historical figure but it's too bad he died.(new copies are sold as who was nelson mandela)

i think this book will be very cool, because I have been reading these series! Those people who haven't read these series, I think you guys should definitely try this book! You will learn more about our American heritage!

Who was Daniel Boone? Was written by Sydelle Kramer and Illustrated by George Ulrich Does someone that live in the woods and uses natures resources to live on interest you? Daniel Boone was born on November 2, 1734 in Reading Pennsylvania. Daniels daughter Jemima was captured by the Shawnee Indians and was later rescued by Daniel. On July 14, 1776 3 teenage girls were captured by the Shawnee Indians while they were floating on canoes on the Kentucky river, one of which was Jemima, Daniels daughter. Daniel was in constant battle with the Indians for land. That was always a big struggle for Daniel and his wife Rebecca. At one point Daniel decided to work with the Indians they even gave him an Indian name of Sheltowee, or Big Turtle. I enjoyed this book because it dealt with conflicts in the 1700's and even now a days we still have these arguments. But it shows us a positive side of how to work through it.

We learned about him in history class!

I'm her life time Helen wrote and published three books, she starred in a silent film, she even toured Japan! In 1936 her dead friend and teacher passed away one of the books Helen wrote was about Annie. This biography made me very interested in learning about Helen Keller and the amazing obstacles she went through with her head held high! Recommended for ages 10+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

“Who Was King Tut?” by Roberta Edwards deserves a five-star review. The book deserves this rating for many reasons. First, the goal of the author was to inform us about Egyptian life and customs during Tut’s life and what Tut himself would have experienced as a young pharaoh. The book explained this very thoroughly. I think that the most surprising part of the book was when the author described how ancient Egyptians thought the afterlife was better than life on Earth. People even started planning out the design of their tombs before they died. I was surprised, because they believed you could experience the same pleasures in the afterlife and on Earth, so how were they different? Ultimately, I would recommend this book to others because it talks about Tut’s life as well as ancient Egyptian culture, giving you an abundance of information.

The SADDEST parts are when his dad and mom die and when he dies from getting very sick! I feel bad for him. I have know and listened to some of the song tunes he wrote. I was pretty impressed when he could play the piano starting at the age of 4.
