I really enjoy these short "Who Was" books, and I think kids will just eat them up. They are short but informative, and easy to read. This one on Sitting Bull was actually one I liked even more than some, but just because the content was interesting to me. That's the good thing about these books-- there's one for everyone.

I can’t sleep so I’m reading whichever of these I can find on Libby and CloudLibrary.

Again, it is about a 100 page biography written for children. It is great to read the story of his life to get a quick perspective. It fueled my curiosity to learn more about Sitting Bull and other Native Americans who resisted the U.S. Government.

It was very interesting to read about how Sitting Bull showed promise even when he was young.

Not one of the most interesting for me. I definitely learned a few new things though about him and the Native Americans.

I liked it. He never signed any treaties with white people because he knew they were just cheating his people.

This series continues to impress me with its straightforward narration style, attention to details and unintimidating presentation of information. However, Who Was Sitting Bull is, I believe, one of my favorites. I knew almost nothing about Sitting Bull going into this read, but I was fascinated by the story that moved along quickly and with great deliberateness. While focused primarily on Sitting Bull, a great deal of information about the Native Americans during the westward expansion was presented in understandable terms.
