My niece thought she should have flown less， so she could have lived longer。 Food for thought。

Reflections and lessons learned:“Because Amelia always said: "If you want to do something， do it。”We hadn’t come across the smaller board books within this series before， and kind of accidentally purchased the wrong version， but still completely enjoyable。 A new gifting idea for smaller children to be inspired by the stories and the equally inspiring gorgeous artwork。This one， an important tale for us ginger independent female thinkers！ Reflections and lessons learned:“Because Amelia always said: "If you want to do something， do it。”We hadn’t come across the smaller board books within this series before， and kind of accidentally purchased the wrong version， but still completely enjoyable。 A new gifting idea for smaller children to be inspired by the stories and the equally inspiring gorgeous artwork。This one， an important tale for us ginger independent female thinkers！ 。。。more

This short biography of Amelia Earhart from the Little People， Big Dreams series is perfect to introduce young children to significant figures and writing biographies。 The simple language is easy for children to understand and allows them to explore the lives of significant figures。 The author presents information so that it accessible for children and handles tricky subjects with a younger audience in mind e。g。 “She flew further than anyone had gone before… never to return。” Therefore， there is This short biography of Amelia Earhart from the Little People， Big Dreams series is perfect to introduce young children to significant figures and writing biographies。 The simple language is easy for children to understand and allows them to explore the lives of significant figures。 The author presents information so that it accessible for children and handles tricky subjects with a younger audience in mind e。g。 “She flew further than anyone had gone before… never to return。” Therefore， there is no bias as such， but some events are played down for children。 In terms of grammatical structure， sentences are short and simple， making the story easy for children to access and understand。 Year 2 children should have the knowledge and skill in reading to use this book。 However， in class I read the book to the children and we used this as a basis for a sequence of English lessons。 Children would not need any knowledge about the topic。 I used this book within a ‘Movers and Shakers’ topic where the children had been learning about different significant figures。 Therefore， they were easily able to identify that Amelia Earhart was in fact an explorer。 English – biographiesHistory – significant figures/women， timelines Geography – maps， identifying places/oceans Art – portraitsScience – forces Maths – measurement 。。。more

BiographyGrades 2-5Amelia Earhart was the first female pilot so learning about what she did can be really inspiring to students！ Even though these are considered easy readers， these biographies are great for all grade levels and can inspire any student。 I hope to get my own collection of these books for my future classroom。

Amelia Earhart is overdone。 The illustrations were interesting but the info was short and dry。

This would be a 3。5/5 for me。 This picture book tells the story of Amelia Earhart's brave adventures。 Even attending the air shows as a young girl， she knew that she wanted to be a pilot。 With the help of a few others， she became the first woman to fly over the Atlantic ocean。 The text is rather simple， as are the illustrations， but they work well together to give the reader an idea of Amelia Earhart's story。 I just felt like this book needed a bit more substance。 I would've liked more backgroun This would be a 3。5/5 for me。 This picture book tells the story of Amelia Earhart's brave adventures。 Even attending the air shows as a young girl， she knew that she wanted to be a pilot。 With the help of a few others， she became the first woman to fly over the Atlantic ocean。 The text is rather simple， as are the illustrations， but they work well together to give the reader an idea of Amelia Earhart's story。 I just felt like this book needed a bit more substance。 I would've liked more background on Amelia or more insight into the challenges that she faced in pursuit of her goals。 However， I think the author did a great job of showing how the plane went missing without making it jarring for younger readers。 Simply put， "it was never seen again。" Overall， though， I really did enjoy this book， and I think it does a fine job of teaching students about Amelia Earhart's journey across the Atlantic。 。。。more

In this book， we begin with a little girl named Amelia who dreams of flying。 After she visits an airshow she knows she belongs up in the sky with them。 And after her first ride in an airplane， she didn’t want to come down。 She became the first woman ever to fly up t 14，000 feet and the first woman to fly across the Atlantic ocean all by herself。 She inspire countless other women to become pilots just like her and even created a club with 98 other women pilots。 Eventually， she decided to try and In this book， we begin with a little girl named Amelia who dreams of flying。 After she visits an airshow she knows she belongs up in the sky with them。 And after her first ride in an airplane， she didn’t want to come down。 She became the first woman ever to fly up t 14，000 feet and the first woman to fly across the Atlantic ocean all by herself。 She inspire countless other women to become pilots just like her and even created a club with 98 other women pilots。 Eventually， she decided to try and fly all the way around the world， never to return。 tThis story was adorable and really teaches the reader that yes， not everyone can reach every dream that they have。 But that doesn’t mean they get to stop trying。 It was perfectly explained to children to where it wasn’t scary when she didn’t return from her trip。 I think the illustrations were beautiful and fit the story very well。 tI think I would recommend this book and would keep it in my classroom library and I do think I could include it in my curriculum， but not in an academic way。 I would use it for a day that we talk about reaching for our dreams and never giving up even when things get hard and people tell us we can’t do something。 。。。more

This story starts off with Amelia as a young girl admiring the planes in the sky。 It then goes on to describe her life as a pilot and her goal to fly around the world。 The book is rather short and ends with her disappearance， along with a quote she once said about doing the things you want to do。I would read this to an elementary class if we were learning about Amelia Earhart。 The story is pretty short and concise。

Ellie ，

This book explains the story of Amelia Earhart in a way that would be appropriate for younger audiences。 I think it does a good job of making it into a fun story for children while also being educational。 It is easy to understand and has bright， fun pictures。 It is a good book to teach children about her role as an inspirational female， and historical character。

This book by Isabel Sánchez Vegara was a historical nonfiction book about Amelia Earhart and her journey as the first female pilot。 This book had lovely， whimsical illustrations by Mariadiamantes throughout every page。 The illustrations were very colorful and fun to look at while reading along。 I think that this book would be a great book to have on a book shelf in lower elementary classrooms。 The last page even included a factual timeline of her life with real photos。 I thought that this was a This book by Isabel Sánchez Vegara was a historical nonfiction book about Amelia Earhart and her journey as the first female pilot。 This book had lovely， whimsical illustrations by Mariadiamantes throughout every page。 The illustrations were very colorful and fun to look at while reading along。 I think that this book would be a great book to have on a book shelf in lower elementary classrooms。 The last page even included a factual timeline of her life with real photos。 I thought that this was a great addition to the book， so the kids can see what she really looked like。 。。。more

I love this series of books as they are great for sharing small snippets of history and are suitable for all ages in school。 It can encourage children to then look in more detail about the person and the history of them。 I think the story is a good length as it can lead to discussions in the classroom and can be used for different cross-curricular links as well。 I would recommend the series of books as they are great in the classroom。

I didn’t know this much about Amelia， and the bit about her being the first women at 14，000 feet- men are dumb。 She was also about my age when she went missing。 I really thought she was in her 20s so I’m rethinking a lot of my life right now。 The girls enjoyed it。

Love this series！

Allysbookclub ，

Liked the book very much。 Amelia Earhart is a real inspiration still to this day。 But I was very disappointed about one of her greatest achievements being reduced to a short sentence at the bottom of a page。 Also thought the 99 should’ve gotten some more explanation。 It was a really big deal back then。
