Who Was Bruce Lee?

I bought this because I already own several books in this series and I have enjoyed them. I really like the variety of people represented. The chapters are short and there are illustrations on most pages, so the books can be read quickly. There are segments throughout each book that highlight people and events that impacted the person being studied. For instance, this book includes a brief summary of the major martial arts and a description of Chinatowns in the United States. There are two timelines at the back of each book. One timeline lists major events in the life of the person and the other timeline lists important events that took place in the world during the person’s life. I have children who have been learning martial arts for several years and we wanted to learn more about someone who was one of the masters. We enjoyed reading this biography together. These books provide a great introduction to people who changed the world.

It’s a prefect gift for a Bruce Lee fan. My son loved it

The Who Was series is fabulous. Every title is popular with our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. They run from 3rd - 6th grade Accelerated Reader levels. The books have plenty of good information for biography reports for 3rd-5th graders. The information is accurate and put together in an interesting chapter format. There are illustrations (black and white) running through each book to enhance the story. The quality of the paperback is good. These are a "go to" for our students. I have over 100 of them because of this in our school library.

What is there not to love about Bruce Lee! Easy read for my 9 year old, it was perfect for my son’s biography paper. Very informative. Happy to have seen a Timeline at the very end of the book since the biography paper had to include a timeline. Fast delivery!

I think it was a bit slow in some parts, but otherwise it was pretty good. I like the small 1-2 page character descriptions. Some parts were not quite as detailed as I would have liked. -LKThis book is really good. I would recommend it to people who like martial arts. It's about Bruce Lee's life and when he was born, what movies he's in and his lifetime. He made a movie with Chuck Norris and many other famous people. He made a lot of people happy. -LHI think Who Was Bruce Lee was a pretty good book. There were a little too many details of who he fought. Maybe they could have just had highlights. You can get a little bit sad because he died at 32, which is really young. If you are looking for a Who Was book, you could read this one. Be warned: it has a little extraneous detail. If you like that, this is the book for you! -IF

My wife and I have been trying to get our 10 year old son to enjoy reading again. When he was younger, he loved to read and be read-to. But, as he has gotten older, videos and games have replaced the interest of a book. So, I thought I would try a book about some dude named Bruce Lee. Although our son has earned his Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, he is still familiar with the name of "Bruce Lee" in the realm of martial arts. Sure enough, the book piqued his interest.

A fun and fast read about Bruce Lee. The content is very basic. not useful for a research project, but good for kids who love to read nonfiction.

I enjoyed reading this book myself before I gave it to my pupils.It was interesting because I thought he had got shot like Brandon.My pupils enjoy reading about him.

Showed up early and in perfect condition. My kids love this series. Easy reads and provides an informative and positive history of the title character. Highly recommend you get one based on your favourite historical figure and see for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Great books. My kids love them
