I thought Galileo was a great biography for children. I really enjoyed the illustrations. The illustrations varied from historical paintings to maps of Italy to show were he had lived and been. I thought the illustrations really helped me understand more about Galileo. I also really enjoyed the writing. It was very organized and understandable. For example, the beginning of the book starts with the birth of Galileo and it ends with his death. I also really liked how on the bottom of each page, there was a timeline. I felt like this gave me a better sense of the time period and when these different events were happening. The main idea of this book is to educate young readers about Galileo. ( )
