Excellent book for curious students--young and adult!

This book was just what I needed for supplementary reading for my adult literacy student--middle grade reading level and adult interest level. The author presents an engaging story of Henry Ford's life and his place in American history. The book is illustrated by excellent line drawings on almost every page. The prose is straight forward with plenty of new words to expand the student's working vocabulary and to inspire discussion. I plan to use other books from the "Who Was..." series with adult English learners eager to learn about the history of their new country.

Great series of books. Kids love em

My son loves the "Who Was" series! He personally owns more than 60 of these books. At $5.99 a pop, I would reccomend checking out 2nd and Charles as a second source.

Great for kids to research for reports and such

We love these books for the easy and abundant research our kids can understand and write their book reports on. It covers a lot about Ford's career from start to finish, ups and downs, and all.

Great Series

The Who Was series is a great learning tool for kids and adults alike. The books are easy to read with great artwork included. As my kids and I read these we learn so much. This book about Henry Ford was fun. We liked learning how he built his empire and was the leader in the assembly line as well the automobile industry. We also learned he had a particular stance on Jews. I never knew that about him.
