The Story of George Washington Carver

This book is a well-written biography of an important figure in American history. Written more like a narrative, this book is easy to follow and interesting. The fifth graders that I was working with enjoyed learning about GWC and were able to have a deep discussion about race relations in history. A great book for students to read! ( )

Great for grades 3-6. Nonfiction. Information/ narrative book. Drawn with pastals. Born into slavery, George Washington Carver became one of the most prestigious scientists of his time. This biography follows Dr. Carver's lifefrom childhood to his days as a teacher and discoverer.
