Who Was Isaac Newton?

This a great book if you just want to get a quick and short overview of Sir Isaac Newton, it doesn't go in great detail about every single act of Isaac Newton, but I found the book interesting and for a kid's book this was a great deal. It's a very quick read and I think for most they get most of the meaty stuff from this book. I honestly loved it because I am not interested in knowing the exact formulations and exploring his other stories in detail. There are other autobiographies of Isaac Newton that goes in to much more detail.

Fantastic book. Just like other who was books I finished this enthralling book in a few hrs. I am so grateful for these books. As a busy mama I don’t have a lot of time for reading and these books are informative, exciting and just open up a whole world for me. I leaned a lot about Isaac Newton and gained a new appreciation for his work as well as a fuller picture of him as a person.

My daughter really loved it. She decided to finish in one sitting. It gives the history and science of Newtons life.

Arrived on time and in excellent condition. Was gifted to my grandson who is obsessed with Sir Isaac Newton right now. He loved it!

3rd grader read this for a biography report assignment for school. By the end he had a decent grasp of who Newton was and what he did. I felt like the chapters were a bit choppy and uneven, but it got the job done.

This is an excellent series of biographies for children. Full of interesting facts, easy and enjoyable to read, and great for whetting the appetite to read further. It is just a pity that there isn't a UK equivalent series, I can think of lots more people that it would be nice to read about. The whole format is very attractive and the books bring the people to life. My grandchildren, ranging fro 8 to 11 all love them, and so do I !!! .

Granddaughter LOVES these books! She is in 2nd grade, but is an advanced reader.

We like to alternate our son's reading of books he would normally pick up with some that are about historical facts to mix things up and keep his reading interest and these books do the trick. He really enjoys them and starts up additional conversations.

It's a amazing, fabulous, interesting book good for kids who are interested in science and scientists. WHO HQ series is best for them Worth it product . 🙂

Good story for 12 years child

A mis hijos les gustó mucho y les resultó muy fácil de leer y entender.
