"I think this is a book that children will really enjoy reading because it features some amazing people–when they were children. This book also reads like a guessing game with the first two pages offering bits of information and then a fold-out page revealing the person. This book is perfect for children between the ages of five and 10 years old. Younger children might not be familiar with some of these people (therefore the guessing feature might not work), but this book is a great way to introduce them in a simple manner." ―Youth Services Book Review"This had information that I didn't even know was a history major I found that very enlightening but also fun and entertaining for children as well." ―Blind Bat Books B, Reviewer"This was such a good book!! It had 25 famous people that you learn all about their childhoods!! I really loved the colorful pictures!!! With every famous person, you are given a fun activity to do!! I would recommend this to a classroom teacher who needs something extra about one of these famous people, or to a child who wants to know about famous people." ―Christine R., Educator"We know the names and the outcome but do we know where they came from? I certainly didn’t. Cute book to learn about some of the most well known names childhood!" —Joni O., NetGalley-Reviewer"This is a very well done book in that, little readers can choose to being reading based on what catches their fancy. Pictures help. Kid liked the premise of the book that all famous people were once children too just like them. It is interesting to see, how they would have thought like children of their bright future." ―Reviewer
