Customer Reviews

Disintegrating and falling apart

Both copies of this book, accidentally ordered two copies, were falling apart. Literally one book fell out of the cover, and the other flaked onto the dinning room table. Neither book was acceptable.

Hilarious memory

This book was a vivid memory from when I was little so I had to order it. It is humorous while it delivers the life story of rabies scientist Louis Pasteur.

The First of a great series

This one is a classic. It has a perfect attention span for a 5-9 near old. This comes from series. All of these books they put out are awesome! I wish they were back in print and publish some new ones. They just don't make books like this anymore.

This book had great impact on my life

I had this book when I was little and I used to beg my mom to read it to me over and over. I loved it. It got me interested in science and research. It is at least partially due to this book that I entered college as a biology major. Highly recommended- I wish it was still in print.

Still making an impact

My brothers and I grew up with the Value Books series, and this was one of our favorites.My mother still has the full set, but now my brothers and I are starting our own families and would love to each have a set. If you can get ahold of copies, get them. The lessons they teach are invaluable - I would reccomend them to any parent and for any child.

This is a fabulous book

My six-year-old daughter picked this book out of a used book store two years ago. She must have had me reread it to her over fifty times since then. It's the kind of inspirational book that I WISH she would read--I can't get over the fact that there is something about this book that makes HER want to pick it up again!
