Who Was Queen Elizabeth I?

Excellent book! My daughter was extremely interested in it. We bought this book, as well as the books on Henry VIII, the Tower of London and Queen Victoria from the same series, in advance of a trip to the UK. My daughter especially enjoyed this book on Elizabeth I and the one on Henry VIII. They imparted a lot of information yet were written in the form of the story that kept my daughters attention. I was pleasantly surprised at how much she learned and retained from these books.

I'm baffled by some comments made here by people who are disappointed that this is a children's book. "Age Range: 8 - 12 years" is clearly listed in the details listed for the book.My daughter is 5 1/2 -- too young for this book, you would think, but she stumbled onto Queen Elizabeth in one of my history magazines and began peppering me with loads of questions about her. Finally I bought and read this book aloud to my daughter, and she adores it! We must be into our third or fourth reading of it now, and her curiosity continues.That's not to detract from the age range recommendation; I think an 8-year-old would respond well to this book. The fact that it actually appeals to a 5-year-old is proof of the strong storytelling in this narrative, I think. Well done!

Love these books. My son, who is 9 has been reading them for a little over a year now and this book is wonderful. I must say that this one is not one of his favorites. He is a history junkey, lol. He so far seems to love the Jackie Robinson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E Lee, What is the world series the best as a 8 and 9 year old.I also read these to him in the evenings and I really enjoy them as a 40 year old father. I have learned so much from them as well. Sometimes I read them before or after my son in order to have an educated discussion with him about the subject of the book. I really also get alot out of them as well.

What a fantastic introduction to Queen Elizabeth for children! My daughter was fascinated by the story and even interjected with side comments (“i don’t think anyone else should marry that king!” :)). I was very impressed with how history was brought to life and how richly the life of Queen Elizabeth was described in such an accessible book. I look forward to reading more from the author!

Good book with great info about Queen Elizabeth's life. The large font, pictures, and short chapters make it an easy read. We homeschool and we read one "Who Was..." book each week for enrichment. Fast shipping, arrived in perfect condition. Will add it to our collection.

Like all their books, this one is just as good as all the others. Thank you!

great books for my kids to read on their own!

I bought these for my third grade classroom. They are great for the biography genre and then to use for report writing. The three years I've used them so far the kids LOVED them. Easy for their reading levels, informative, and people they have heard of in their lives. They would read their own and then read other that they had heard of. Could have left these books out 1/2 year and they would have still been reading them.

Bought for grandaughters school project, was very impressed with this book
