Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great book for children!
I purchased this book for my 8 year old daughter, who had to sumbit a book report for school. It was an easy read and the pictures were great. I recommend it to other parents as we were very pleased with the book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Picture Book of Harriet Tubman
This is a great book for young readers. I used it to introduce second graders to Harriet Tubman and the times in which she lived. David Adler uses simple sentences to explain complex issues including slavery, the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, and other issues surrounding this time in American history. I highly recommend all the David Adler Picture Books for young readers to get their first glimse into the lives of important people in history.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Be careful reading to younger audiences
It is important to monitor the word choice that the author uses when you are reading this book to a younger audience. They do not understand how you can die from a paper weight being thrown at them or harsh things like whipping or beating. Such vocabulary can be abrasive for you children. Overall the book is beneficial for African American History month.
