This is an interesting book about Margaret Hamilton. Sentences are very simple, adapted for younger readers. It's good that this book contains photographs, but I'm not sure about the design. I am missing something here.

Part of a series of VERY early readers, this gives us just a hundred or two words about its subject, with clear, large-font sentences on the text pages and full-page images on those facing. The benefits of the book come from the end, when we get tips on us too becoming a noted NASA employee, as before then it's really just too infant-friendly to actually convey that much information. She grew up with a liking for car trips with her dad – so here's a blacktop in the countryside. Yeesh. I'm all for engaging with STEM subjects at the right age – this just didn't seem to be aimed at one of those.

The sentences in this book are very simplistic, which would be good for young readers. However, this book is also very simplistic with details or really explaining things that I think would be very difficult for students to understand. It is good as an example of non-fiction text, but not really as a informative source. There is a glossary at the end that helps explain some words with the pronunciation.
