Women explorers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I got this book when my four-year-old daughter asked me if there were any women explorers after I told her about Columbus and Balboa. The biographies are about interesting women & they are short enough for a pre-reader's attention span and a nice length for older children to read alone. The author does a great job explaining terms & covering all the women's adventures. I wanted more anecdotes in some of the biographies, however, to make the women more memorable and colorful. Overall, this is a great book to introduce the concept of women explorers. The maps and photographs are wonderful.
