the_horror_maven's review against another edition
5.0
All I can say is that I am IN LOVE with this biography! The biography is written for children, but I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult. The illustrations are so lovely, and the author doesn't talk down to their audience. Harriet Tubman is such an important American figure, and I am overjoyed to find a children's biography that does her justice. This book makes an excellent gift for any child or young adult who loves to read and learn. But what I loved most about this book was that it made learning fun and unique, and I think that it is a must-have for any classroom or setting where children are present. Thank you so much to the author for your beautiful work!

This is a great biography for children about Harriett Tubman. The story is fact filled and interesting, with a quiz and fact pages at the end. There's a surprising amount of information in 60 pages and it is written in a way kids can easily understand.

Another book in the series of famous people for early readers. Nicely done, with a quiz at the end. All concepts are explained, and all myths about slavery are discussed.
Kids can learn about Harriet, and what she did to become famous, as a conductor on the Underground railroad. Each part of her life is short, but is told to drive home a message, such as how she was beaten by her master, and what she did once the civil war was over.
It seems odd that some of the myths might be believed by kids reading the book, such as the myth that people willingly came to American to be slaves.
Well done, and continue to recommend this series.
Thanks to Callisto Publishers Club for making this book available for an honest review.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher to leave an honest review.
“The Story of Harriet Tubman” was a wonderful route! I felt the author, Christine Platt, was very intentional with her story outline, and her vocabulary usage. I appreciate her consistent usage of “enslaved people” instead of “slaves”.
The general layout of the book is great! The illustrations are beautiful, and are on almost every single page bringing the information to life! There are great text features such as timelines or thinking questions that really help tie the whole story together too. The glossary and discussing questions and quiz all at the end of the book are greatly appreciated as well.
I teach upper elementary and feel that this book would be appropriate for second graders up through sixth graders, honestly. The information is good/detailed, but not gory. I learned quite a bit too about Harriet Tubman! Love this book! :)

Great early reader to learn more about Harriet Tubman’s life. Christine Platt writes in a way that presents honest information in an age appropriate way for young readers, and I highly suggest this title!
