We recently studied Milton Hershey in our homeschool. My children wanted to know more and this book was the answer. It contains a lot of information but does not bore the child. If you want to introduce your children to biographies, this is a great place to start. His life is not boring but exciting and meaningful. I recommend having hershey chocolate chip pancakes while reading this to the kids! :) (They loved that!)
