Excellent story on Galileo for elementary school kids
My first grader loves these books, and the series covers interesting people from all over the spectrum of history. She has quite a collection going and we plan to buy tons more.We got the Gallileo book because she loves space. She is a pretty advanced reader for her age, and I would say this one is a bit of a harder and more complex read than say the Abraham Lincoln book, which she found more relatable and was generally a faster book to finish.This is a deep and well written story however, and has introduced her to all sorts of new people she can obsess over, such as all the Greek philosophers that inspired Gallileo, and other things that were going on in history in his lifetime.We read out of this book each night for 15 minutes, which is about a chapter a night. I listen to my daughter read it and help her with some of the hard words. The story is pretty detailed and I think she has gotten a real sense of satisfaction out of it, now since we are on the last chapter. She might not be absorbing everything they are saying, such as the Catholics vs Protestants, and the push back he got from the Catholic Church despite being a devout follower, however it offers her just enough of a challenge with hard words that she is definitely improving her vocabulary and it is helping her reading aloud.

Perfect for Book Report
This book was easy to read but not childish, so it was perfect for my son’s book report due in elementary school.

Great book in a great series
Before reading this book I didn’t know much about Galileo other than his telescope and his discovery of Jupiter’s moons. Every book I’ve read in this series is outstanding – informative in an entertaining way, and makes you want to know more.

Great overview of Galileo.
I buy these little books for my granddaughter but actually I enjoy them, too. This one (Galileo) filled in a lot of blanks for that time period in a most diplomatic way, I thought. This was particularly true in regard to the church vs secular/scientific view controversies. Really, a terrific little book with appeal across a broad age range.
