A quick rundown of this product’s key features:

Born into aristocracy, Churchill cut his teeth as a young army officer in British India, the Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He rose in the ranks to First Lord of the Admiralty and was a staunch opponent of the encroaching German Nazis. Churchill served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, Churchill was also a historian, a writer, and an artist. He is the only British Prime Minister to have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.

Review: This line of books is a great way to get a good base knowledge of people that stood out in history. They definitely are easy reads maybe a fourth grade level I’m guessing but if you read it even as an adult you get a good basis and that will give you a desire or let you know that you don’t want to go any further . I have every book in the series that I have seen and will continue to purchase if I find others that I do not have. They are beneficial for younger or older students.

Title: Great book for kids to learn a little history
Review: Great book for kids to learn a little history. We are working on our sons reading skills and allow him to read a funny book and we drop in a historical book like this so he not only is working on reading skills but actually learning something about a person or event that was historic. This normally leads into questions on the event and we can do some additional research after.

Title: Good fun reading.
Review: Love these books. My son, who is 9 has been reading them for a little over a year now and this book is wonderful. I must say that this one is not one of his favorites. He is a history junkey, lol. He so far seems to love the Jackie Robinson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E Lee, What is the world series the best as a 8 and 9 year old.I also read these to him in the evenings and I really enjoy them as a 40 year old father. I have learned so much from them as well. Sometimes I read them before or after my son in order to have an educated discussion with him about the subject of the book. I really also get alot out of them as well.

Title: Who was Winston Churchill
Review: I liked this book because I like reading all of the war books and The Who was books. I would recommend this book to everyone in the world because it’s a good book of history. What I disliked about this book is when Winston died but that’s just apart of life though. What I did like about this book is I get to learn about history that is made.

Title: EXCELLENT BOOK ON SIR WINSTON
Review: This is an amazing book as it gives a condensed account of his life. I am 75 years old and was at the University of Nottingham studying for my Electrical Engineering Degree when he died. There was only B & W TV at my hall of residence and the room was packed with mourners, all of us.Ellen Labrecque has done a marvellous job.Thanks Ellen.

Title: “…the world was free in part because of Winston Churchill’s leadership.”
Review: Winston Churchill is best known as Prime Minister of England, but this book about his life explores his military service, his writing of books and magazine articles as well as for newspapers, and his personal life, offering a more rounded view of the man who led the United Kingdom during World War II and in doing so left his mark on the world.

Review: Ho imparato tanto su la vita di W. Churchill! Libro molto ben fatto e con un livello di inglese per un A1/A2. Nasce como libro per bambini da 8 a 12 anni ma io l’ho preso per rispolverare il mio inglese.

Review: I was pleasantly surprised that my son found this book interesting. Read it in 1.5 hours. He told me that Churchill was buried at Blenheim Palace. That was something I didn’t know!

Review: Estou estudando inglês sozinha há dois anos, através de leitura de livros infantis. Esta coleção é ótima porque os textos são simplificados, mas o vocabulário é um pouco complexo e eu, mesmo sendo adulta, aprendo muito sobre as personalidades biografadas. Nível de inglês: pré-intermediário.
