Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-09 00:00:00 Tanner Rowland This is a nice introduction to the space race. Details the history of man's attempts to land on the moon. The information is very good and written at an elementary school level. This is a good resource for kids wanting information for reports or pleasure.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-29 00:00:00 Bobby Baker A collection of short essays (or excerpts) about the childhood of famous and inspiring people. Broken into several sections - artists, scientists, politicians and businessmen, and athletes - the book relies mostly on excerpts from biographies and autobiographies with a handful of original essays. Nothing very long or substantive, but enough to hopefully grab the interest of a kid reading the book and inspire him to look for more. I wasn't familiar with a few of the people featured, but for the most part these are universally known success stories. A good introduction to biography, and I appreciated the short format geared towards younger readers. I was also happy to read first person accounts of the childhood rather getting it from a removed narrator.
