Not as good as other bobble head books we've read. Did not garner many questions from the 7yo.

For a book written for a younger audience, we found [b: Who Was Queen Victoria?|18693924|Who Was Queen Victoria?|Jim Gigliotti|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1385349912s/18693924.jpg|26542475] to be annoyingly ambiguous. There were too many pronouns and "its" used when a defining noun, name or title could have added the necessary clarity. For a family who is not a native to the UK and unfamiliar with the intricacies of all things royal, many of the explanations were unclear, creating more questions than providing clear-cut answers.

All though this is geared towards older children I quite enjoyed reading this short book. I was surprised that there was actually something in here that I hadn’t known before reading this. The Who Was series is definitely something I would have read growing up. It’s perfect for children 9 - 12 who love to learn about history. But just because they are geared towards that age group don’t let it stop you from reading one for yourself. I’m an adult who enjoyed reading this short biography and I plan on looking into reading more of them.
