Summary: This book consists of the biographies for 25 very influential people from Albert Einstein to Sammy Sosa. This book is written for children but also written to inform them while keeping their attention.
Extension Activity: Since this book is all about biographies, I would have the children write their own autobiography all about them. This can range from a 2 to 3 page paper with all the information the children think they should include; whether it be their participation in sports to family life.
