A Picture Book of Thurgood Marshall (Picture Book Biography)

When researching books for my 5 year old, I read this would be a great book for that age but when I received the book I thought it’s definitely too many words to keep a 5 year olds attention.This book is hold probably be best for a 2nd grader

Great for teaching young children our history. I loved the pics. This is maybe for a child maybe about 4 and older. I just wanted to surround my 2 year old with the info even if he didn't get it yet. We have to teach our children our history because they won't learn it anywhere else and this is a good place to start.

Adler's simple and easy style of writing makes these volumes a terrific addition to any classroom library. This particular volume on Marshall is insightful and human. I particularly enjoy pointing out that Justice Marshall was not always a perfect little student and sometimes was required by the principal to copy the Constitution. It's a great springboard when discussing the history of the civil rights movement. Greatness does not necessarily mean stardom. Justice Marshall's story is one to which all students should be introduced. My students love all the Adler books in my library, and this is my personal favorite.

My son chose Thurgood Marshall to research for his third grade wax museum project. What a fascinating research tool! We learned more than we thought we would. Very nice read.

Love this book

Great book for young readers and it has been added to our homeschool library

Great read aloud for high school students who may never hear of this great man in all their high school years.

Good for the library.
