Who Was Isaac Newton? (Who Was?) Kindle Edition

This a great book if you just want to get a quick and short overview of Sir Isaac Newton, it doesn't go in great detail about every single act of Isaac Newton, but I found the book interesting and for a kid's book this was a great deal.It's a very quick read and I think for most they get most of the meaty stuff from this book.I honestly loved it because I am not interested in knowing the exact formulations and exploring his other stories in detail. There are other autobiographies of Isaac Newton that goes in to much more detail.

This is an excellent series of biographies for children. Full of interesting facts, easy and enjoyable to read, and great for whetting the appetite to read further. It is just a pity that there isn't a UK equivalent series, I can think of lots more people that it would be nice to read about. The whole format is very attractive and the books bring the people to life. My grandchildren, ranging fro 8 to 11 all love them, and so do I !!!.

We like to alternate our son's reading of books he would normally pick up with some that are about historical facts to mix things up and keep his reading interest and these books do the trick. He really enjoys them and starts up additional conversations.

Granddaughter LOVES these books! She is in 2nd grade, but is an advanced reader.

The author includes some shocking and some “ How did she get this information “ moments a great story about a great mind.

Fun book. Lots of info. Sad I didn’t get to meet him.

My daughter really loved it. She decided to finish in one sitting. It gives the history and science of Newtons life.

My son and I both enjoyed it. It also opened door to reading about other scientists from that era. I liked that the book shone light on Newton's personality, something that I was not aware of or thought about before. I like the book series in general.

Good
