A review by ljrinaldi
The Story of Harriet Tubman: A Biography Book for New Readers by Christine Platt

4.0

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.
