Galileo anyone?

Reviewed by Parent/Teacher

Do you know who Galileo is? You probably remember hearing his name mentioned when you were in school, but what can you honestly remember about him??? This is the perfect book, not too long or too short, to easily find out so much about him that you will feel like you've known him your whole life! The activities are easy enough to do without a ton of preparation, and yet what you learn about him will stick in your mind for years to come!
