I thought that the story was a very easy read but was filled with wonderful information on Pedro. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. This book was very informative, and I feel like I know quite a lot of information about Pedro Martinez even though I had never heard of him and read about him before this book. I really liked how the illustrations aligned so well with everything. The illustrations are so realistic and it makes it that much more interesting to read about. I think Matt Tavares did a fantastic job writing this biography and I would absolutely have this book in my classroom library. ( )
