"As an adult I liked it and I liked reading it to my child but she thought it was boring :( I wish there was pronunciation guide under some of the names"

"I saw some people (on Amazon) criticize the men who were included in this book. They must not have read the author’s note at the start and end of the book. She clearly states she set out to include many people who didn’t already have piles of books written about them. I didn’t know about many of these men, and enjoyed learning about them."
