Format:Paperback
I am a Reception teacher and used this in our Space theme to teach about Neil Armstrong. It teaches about Biography/fact book writing style whilst telling his life story clearly and simply enough for children to follow. My class love the book and learned alot from it!

Format:Paperback
This book tells the story of Neil Armstrong's life. It has everything a child needs to know about Neil Armstrong and more! Though I wouldn't recommend it for smaller children as the words are very tricky, this is a definite for the classroom collection, as well as a useful resource.

"One Giant Step" is fantastic!
14 Feb 1999
Format:Hardcover
Don Brown's book "One Giant Step: the Story of Neil Armstrong" is great. It approaches the story of America's most famous astronaut from a truly unique perspective. Even as an adult I found it compelling.The illustrations are colorful, lively watercolors with distinctive style and charm. Few have mastered the art writing children's books. Fewer have mastered the art of illustrating them. Don Brown has done both.

Don Brown's Best One Yet!
21 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
This biography is without a doubt Brown's best picturebook biography to date. He really has written an engaging biography of Armstrong. My second graders went back to this book time and again after I read it aloud! One of my students () used it as a primary source for her biography on Neil Armstrong...and she wrote a great bio too! A great addition to a classroom library or school library biography section!

wonderful and inspiring
27 Sep 1998
Format:Hardcover
No one is telling history to young children quite the way that Don Brown is -- clearly, factually, and without the unnecessary treacle and syrup. History is beguiling enough as it is. Brown's admiration for his subject comes through in his direct and Hemingway-esque style. Armstrong was a hero who started as a boy with a dream, literally. My children were smitten, as was I. THIS BOOK IS A NO-FAIL GIFT for boys and girls. We hope to hear, and see, more from this fantastic author-illustrator. He deserves more recognition, and I am sure that will come soon.
