I am Marie Curie (Ordinary People Change the World)

My daughter loves these books. She loves learning and this book is perfect. She’s 8 years old and it’s easy for her to read and understand.

This is an outstanding book. My granddaughter loves science, so a well written and illustrated biography about Marie Curie was just perfect for her age. In fact, I think most 5 to 8 year olds and their parents will enjoy reading this book. All the “Ordinary People Change the World” biographies have been outstanding. This is one of our favorites from the series of books about famous people like Marie Curie. So far, the books about Marie Curie and Leonardo da Vinci have been our favorite biographies in this series.

I have bought most of this series for my 6-year-old daughter and she loves them. It highlights important parts of each person's childhood through adulthood, pointing out obstacles they overcame and the amazing contributions they made to the world. They also sprinkle each book with humorous comments and really create a biography series that engages readers of all ages. New ones can't come out fast enough.

I bought this book as a gift...after doing a Google search for "Best Books for age 7." I value being able to listen to some of the audio book (under the book image) before I bought. I like the text and presentation. The final pages show more persons included in this inspiring biography series. Reviews were VERY positive. I'll be ordering more from this series.

Kids love the book, the illustration are super cute and the way is written is perfect for the kids to understand, my kid loves it, she even asked to dress up like Mary Curie for a school project, we read it several times and she never gets bored. A los ninos les encanta el libro, las ilustraciones son tan bonitas y detalladas, esta escrito de manera muy clara y sencilla que los ninos pueden comprender, con informacion importante y relevante sobre la vida del presonaje, a mi hija le encanta incluso me pidio vestirla de Mary Curie para un proyecto escolar, lo hemos leido varias veces y siempre es interesante.

I brought my grandson a Nerf target item, and this book. He opened both, right away. But he headed off for some space on his own, because he wanted to read this book right away. I think it helped that he recognized the illustration style from an earlier book in this series -- really well done, and a marvelous way to introduce biographies of heroic people to young readers like this.

I bought this book for my 6 year old grand daughter. She wants to be a Veterinarian and a scientists when she grows up. This book will be perfect! First one I’ve bought of the series, will buy more! Encourages girls.

The books in the collection are wonderful. The characters have cartoon bubbles but historical story is in another font. The artwork is fun and helps with keeping you interested in reading the story. We have told our school and public library all about them. My daughter is thrilled about the new PBS show too! Probably about age 7-9 for “self-reading”. Certainly younger for the bios/stories...

Amé el cuento, se los regalé a mis niñas de 4 y 6 años para inspirarlas y hasta mi esposo y yo quedamos fascinados con esta belleza.

Liked immensely every aspect of the presentation. Having read myself it was gifted to an young adolescent.

My girls aged 5-10 love this series. Enjoyed seeing a scientist featured.
