Its remarkable how kids (4 yo) relate to some facts in these books (like discoveries, slogans, values) and then recall the page/book when they hear a word two in totally unrelated conversations.

#20I never understood the desire to idolize famous people. Almost always the achievement was done by a group where the famous person took the credit and marginalized the other contributors. We teach our kids that somehow a single person did these amazing things when in truth they were the lead or figurehead of a larger movement organization or group.
I guess I am more looking for interesting story telling based on real life event
