4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and interesting book, 20 Jan 2006
By A Customer
This is a good book - fun and easy to read for my six- year old, a good way to add to your child's understanding of Florence Nightingale and the brave choices she made. The timeline at the back of the book was very helpful, providing important dates in Nightingale's life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just enough detail..........for the younger child., 13 Nov 2006
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
From the popular Famous People/Famous Lives series of books: No. 7 - FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

'Florence Nightingale was lucky. Her wealthy parents encouraged her to travel, to go to parties and, one day soon, to marry. But Florence had different plans. She wanted to be a nurse and no one was going to stop her.'

48 high quality pages in a clear, easy-to-read text and appealing black and white illustrations, finishing with a useful timeline, details just enough information to keep the attention of the younger child and make a lasting impression.
