This book is very interesting, with a comical portrayal of side stories about great people from around the world that aren't found in their biographies. My child reads this after reading biographies, and they were enjoying the human-like episodes of these great people. It was kept on the bookshelf with a cover. They reread it many times, even taking it to school, so there are some scuffs on the edges of the cover, but there are no scratches or stains inside the book. There are no folded pages either. It's also recommended for book reports.
