" Presenting history with brevity and simplicity, this book is an interesting read, and had me constantly researching each new detail of the book to get more info on that events' history. I can see why this won the Newbery award, and there were tons more kids enthusiastic about reading such material in 1922. Though its accuracy is in question, I think it's a decent enough book to at least get children exposed to the interesting stories of the past. "
