Who Was Daniel Boone?

This is a book I purchased because I am a pen pal in the In2Books.com program. This was a very quick read and super informative. We got to know the real man, warts and all. I would urge teachers and librarians to use this book with their students. In2Books is a top notch organization that helps kids immensely and is so much fun. Check it out!

I have to agree with the first reviewer. My 11 year old is a reluctant reader, and he was totally engaged by this book. (My 8 year old advanced, voracious reader loved it,too!) It was just very accessible in the way it was written, and the friendly black and white illustrations on many of the pages create an inviting appearance. There are timelines of Boone's life and concurrent world history in the back, which I appreciate as a home educator. I will definitely be checking out some of the other biographies in this series.

My daughter (age 10) is a reluctant reader. I have a hard time getting her to read anything. She LOVED this book! She wouldn't put it down until she was finished! I think the illustrations really held her attention. I will definately be getting other books in this series!
