On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and, to an audience of over 450 million people, proclaimed his step a "giant leap for mankind." This Eagle Scout built his own model planes as a little boy and then grew up to be a test pilot for experimental aircraft before becoming an astronaut. Over 80 black-and-white illustrations bring Armstrong's story to life.

I used this book for students to study a person in history to write a report on. This was for a 4th grade classroom. Each student read the novel on their own and filled out a novel study that I created for non-fiction books. Students were able to follow the book with ease and understand what they were reading.There were several pictures to aid in understanding. There is also a timeline that helps students understand the timeline of events as they read. Very great resource.

I purchased this book for my 3rd grade son, who needed a 100 page biography book to do his school book report on. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase as the book had good info, was reading level appropriate for my child, and he found it fun and interesting to read. We have already been shopping other titles in the "Who Was" series, as he will need another book report book of the same style for later in the year.

I bought these for my third grade classroom. They are great for the biography genre and then to use for report writing. The three years I've used them so far the kids LOVED them. Easy for their reading levels, informative, and people they have heard of in their lives. They would read their own and then read other that they had heard of. Could have left these books out 1/2 year and they would have still been reading them.

I purchased this for my 6 year old for a school assignment. Not only did he love it but I did as well. I wasn't born when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and although I knew he was the first man to walk on the moon, I'm embarrassed to say I never took the time to learn about his life. Together my son and I learn so much about Neil Armstrong! I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading others in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4th grade book report
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2010

My 9 year old son loved this book. This was one of three he read in the series. Walt Disney, Neil Armstrong and Albert Einstein. Each were great reads and he loved the information he got from the books. I enjoyed him reasing it out loud to me the second time he read it. My sons 4th grade class was assigned a biography book to read and report on. There was plenty of information as far as where they were born, how they accomplished what they each did and some sideline info on each of them that was interesting. However, the size of the words to a page and the difficulty would be more appropriate for 3rd grade not 4th.
