Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
This book includes both well-known explorers as well as more obscure explorers, making it likely that everyone who reads it will learn some new things about explorers old and new. This book is great for young ones as it doesn’t go far enough into detail to lose interest but still goes far enough to learn somethings. The book is written in kid-friendly language, and it also includes a hepful glossary of terms as well.
