One of the best read alouds for us this year. We started out just reading a chapter a day but quickly read two or three some days because they were so interesting. Really well written, funny without being ridiculous, and just brimming with educational value. I think the author did a great job highlighting the good and the bad of each explorer, encouraging the reader to think through history. The final paragraphs were really powerful and the perfect culmination of the entire book.

I thought this book was funny overall, and the authors did a fantastic job of telling the stories of each exploration without becoming boring or putting some kind of political spin on the story. A good book to read if you're interested in learning some random snippets to share with friends.

I really enjoyed reading this book aloud to all three boys and learning more facts about the early world explorers. Funny and informative, it makes for exciting reading.
