A review by speculativeshelves
The Incredible Yet True Adventures of Alexander Von Humboldt: The Greatest Inventor-Naturalist-Scientist-Explorer Who Ever Lived by Volker Mehnert

informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

Engaging middle grade biography with lots of beautiful illustrations. Absolutely would recommend for curious kids in the 8-12 range, particularly if they're interested in science and exploration.

While geared toward a middle grade audience, it was still an enjoyable read as an adult (perfect for adults like me who would be interested in learning about Alexander von Humboldt's life but unwilling to commit to a longer and more detailed biography).
