About this product
Product Information
This book contains 30 'non-fiction minutes' - short, easy-to-read non-fiction essays - based on interesting historical figures written by some of today's award-winning and best-known children's authors. What do Julius Caesar, Rosa Parks, and Vincent van Gogh all have in common? They're all fascinating figures who shaped our world! Learn about these and so many more historical VIPs in 30 People You Should Know, brought to you by today's award-winning and best-known children's authors. In this collection of 40 essays which kicks off the 'Got a Minute'? series, each historical figure has a short piece - called a non-fiction minute - dedicated just to them. Learn how African-American singer Marian Anderson sang her way to the White House, and how an indentured servant named Juan de Pareja became an artist. Read all about Albert Einsteins theory of relativity - yes, it can be explained in a minute! These nonfiction appetizers are quick and easy-to-read, and will have children begging to know more about the world around them.

Reviews
The 30 people profiled in this handsomely produced nonfiction book are certainly interesting and mostly exemplary. The compendium contains someone to interest everyone, including contemporary role models (Malala Yousafzal), artists of color (Edmonia Lewis and Juan de Pareja), and explorers (Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott). Authors, scientists, and civil rights icons are all represented....Photos, maps, art reproductions, and even graphs keep the layout lively. The authors...clearly know how to sum up their subjects in three-to-five pages while whetting young readers' appetites. This is a good jumping-off platform to longer similar essays..., Biographical highlights and sidelights from a dozen, mostly veteran, nonfiction authors.Originally posted on the Nonfiction Minute blog, these short essays focus less on biographical details than on why their subjects are worth knowing.....Hellegouarch fills gaps in the array of period photos, documents, and art with mildly dramatic watercolor scenes, and each entry ends with a few leads to further information (often one of the writer's own works). Brisk and appealing historical vignettes, as readable as they are revealing., "The 30 people profiled in this handsomely produced nonfiction book are certainly interesting and mostly exemplary.

Excellent comunication. Great seller. Price was VERY reasonable with free shipping. Later, I found our local Sprouts grocer carries these at a dollar/box less. Expiration date is next year 2025, so product is fresh. Thank you!
