COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Noteworthy people submitted by Funnysox on June 13, 2014, 3:25pm This book is a great little book about people in history who have done things the author finds notable or honorable. While I did not necessarily think that all of the people included in the book would make great heroes for my sons, it did give me a great beginning for my list of heroes I want my sons to know about. It is a great book for coffee tables, conversation starters and would be a great idea source for research projects on notable people. Some of the people included in the book are people from the author's own life. It helped me want to get to know the heroes in my own and from my own past.
