Kids Books - History

I love ancient Greek mythology. It is so cool! I can name the twelve Olympians. Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Apollo, Poseidon, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus,Athena, Artemis,and so on. I like Medusa, sirens, the three Gorgons, and other stuff. So if you like Greek mythology, read this! I love myths because they are so unusual. Did you know that Poseidon's girlfriend was Medusa? Did you know that Hera threw Hephaestus the off of Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Greece? Whoa! Athens was named after Athena. This stuff is cool! Hades is the god of the underworld. Nemesis is the minor god of revenge.

These series (Weird But True) are just AMAZING and FUNNY! They give you information you never knew about and just makes it HILARIOUS!! National Geographic has done a STUNNING JOB at making these books. There educational, funny, filled with jokes, laughter, fun facts and MORE!!! Bravo National Geographic!!!!! 👍👍🤯🤯👏👏🤩🤩

Since I love studying presidents this has been one of my favorite books because it's about weird facts from presidents!❤️🤍💙

Usually I would rate Nat Geo books 4 stars and above, but for this book I will rate it 3 stars because I was very disappointed in it. So the facts did not appeal to me, only one did. It was, in San Francisco, people call the fog, "Karl." The rest of the facts weren't really interesting. They were just talking about what people did. Like a man ate __ hot dogs in __ seconds. But I want to read about naturey stuff. Real stuff. That is what fascinates me. Not what people do. Because I don't care about records or stuff. I only like animals and historic event facts and etc. Sorry but I did not like this book as much as the other Weird But True books.

I love this book! It had lots of cool facts about Star Wars animals, including Sarlaacs, Blarths,Tauntauns, and Giant Space Slugs. Also, the illustrations were amazing! I think this is one of the best books that I have ever read!

I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

wow this a good book i would read it again

how have i not heard of this book. i just HAVE TO READ IT!!!!!!!

“Sabotage” by Neal Bascomb “Sabotage” by Neal Bascomb is a Non-fiction book about a mission to destroy Hitler’s atomic bomb in the Vidda. Five Norwegian soldiers were chosen to complete this mission. A topic in this book is trial and error because the Norwegian soldiers tried several times to blow up the plant but failed a lot. A quote to represent trial and error is “It felt like a crater was opening in each of their hearts”. The author said this because a plane was supposed to drop more soldiers down into the Vidda but failed because the soldiers on the ground failed to set up the signal. I thought the book was boring because it lacked suspense and could have more plot. I rate this book a 5/10 because it did not grab my attention very well. I would not recommend this to people. This is my review on the book Sabotage and if you want to see if the soldiers destroy the bomb you will have to read yourself.

“A bone chilling tale not to be ignored” In my opinion this book shows the characters emotions and actions very detailed throughout the whole story. This book is great for someone who loves to be on the edge of the seat and wanting to keep reading no matter what. I would recommend this book to someone because the book has really detailed actions and emotions and shows what war and places were like back in WW2 time period.
