25 Children’s Books Every African American Little Boy Should Read
“I like this story about George Washington Carver. Bought it for my little kids who are scheduled to take a class on peanuts at a local nursery after having used it in a cyber school with my older kids. Great starting point for a unit study on peanuts we are doing.
It is also a great story and introduction to another great American scientist and historical figure. The uses for this book are many – use it when highlighting African American figures in history, use it during units on slavery and the reconstruction, and touches on the Tuskegee institute, another important American institution – so it could also be worked into units on the great depression and WWII. The character studies are also important – can be used to highlight determination and perseverance, hardworking spirit, scientific investigation, helpful personality, and many others.
I would recommend this book to anyone with young children but esp school age home schoolers.” -Amazon reviewer
