96 pp. | Houghton | August, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-15-205910-1 $20.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt. Brief, lively, and informative profiles of some of the world's best-known explorers, plus a few of smaller renown, focus on major accomplishments and discoveries. The discussion also touches on personality quirks and what may have driven their curiosity and wonder in the first place. Caricature-style portraits and relevant maps help tell the stories, which are great for reading aloud. Reading list.
