We home school and are using the Robinson Curriculum. In order to make sure my daughter is comprehending, I went through this book and made up a quiz for one of the chapters for her. I read the preface for George Dewey with her and then read through that chapter without her so I could make up the test.
1st: this book is an incredible compilation of not only the military history of these naval heroes, but American history in general. it is written so that a child 8yrs old and above can easily(or with some guidance)understand.
2nd: I would not be exaggerating if I also mentioned that MOST adults have no idea of the history that is in this book. It is worth reading for any age group!
I recommend it bar none. I purchased the original hardback but I know it can be found on kindle or paperback. I like buying the original books so long as it does not break the bank but this one is well worth it. It would make a great family read if you are not homeschooling.
I am appalled at the simplicity of the vocabulary in many of the current books and this one will certainly elevate anyone's vocabulary level. I say make an investment in your understanding of American history and read this book.
