My daughter had me read this as I honestly didn’t know much about Marie curie. Glad I read!

I liked this book because it was about science.

106 pages. This biography features a famous female scientist who never stopped working. She didn’t let anything get in her way to advance her education, her interest or experimentation with elements. Women were not allowed to go to some colleges or be a member of some professional groups. However, Marie was able to open doors that were otherwise closed to women. It was a very inspiring book. I think kids will enjoy learning about her, especially girls. Highly recommended for Grade 5 and up.

What a tragic life story of Madame Marie Curie yet her brilliance pays for her achievements for a lifetime. A very well written book covering all the important events of her life. It would have been more interesting if stories about discoveries written in more details. Overall a good book to read.

Very quick read!

It's hard to get reluctant readers to read anything, let alone biographies which is why I love this series. Each book tells the story of someone fantastic from history in an accessible way. The illustrations are great for bringing the story to life. As an adult, it only takes about 20-25 min to read one book but for a lot of kids, it's a real accomplishment finishing one of these. I usually leave each book feeling wildly impressed with who I just read about, I don't know why, but I didn't feel t...

Once there was a girl called Maria she was the youngest of five children. When she started school she was the best student in the class, One particular grade her teacher even told her to take a break from school. There however Maria did not take a break from school, instead her father sent her to a hard Russian school. Maria would rather go to her normal school, because there were Russian officers making unfair laws in Poland where she lived. Plus her father didn’t like the laws too, he told the...

The name Marie Curie should be familiar most people and certainly anyone studying or working in the basic sciences. Author Megan Stine has done a nice job in writing Who Was Marie Curie providing a quick but fairly detailed description of her life from her early years through her university years and her productive years of many scientific breakthroughs. Since she was denied entry into the male-only University of Warsaw, Poland, where she was born, she enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris to study

I thought the book was very informing. In the beginning, I knew very little of Marie Curie and what she had discovered. After reading, I understood much more!

“Who Was Marie Curie?” by Megan Stine, tells the story of the first women to win a Nobel Prize. Marie Curie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. At a young age, Curie always had a thirst for knowledge. When she wasn’t allowed to attend Warsaw University because she was a woman, she decided to attend a secret university. Marie went on to discover two new elements: radium and polonium. She also created an X-ray machine that was portable, so it could be used on wounded soldiers on the battlefield.(B...

I have recently found this nice series of biographies for young readers. Various authors have contributed to this series, which now includes over 160 books. Each book is short (about 100 pages) and gives a good summary of a historical figure. The list of people includes explorers, scientists, painters, authors, & musicians. There is a good balance between males and females demonstrating the importance of both genders in the accomplishments of mankind. This concise biography highlights a two-time...

Very simple biography on Marie Curie. I just reviewed a more in-depth biography about this woman. I would say that this one would be good for grades 2-3 and the other one would do well for a bit older group, say 9-12. Both books covered similar topics, however, this was a little more simplified in sentence structure. It did have 2 conflicting areas of her life where the writers had different sides on a matter; one being her supposed affair, and the other was about her earlier jobs and childhood....

Maya Margalit 11/22/16block 2This book was about the scientist Marie Curie. Marie Curie discovered a new metal and was the first lady to win a Nobel Prize. She watched her father as he worked and admire his little bottles he kept on a shelf. She lived in Poland and went to a school where she had to speak a different language. When she grow older she worked as a governess and fell in love with the son of the family she worked for. But they forbade her from marrying their son so she moved to Franc...

What a fascinating historical figure, and how lucky she was to be born into a family with a father who believed in educating his daughter. What fascinated me most was how Marie continued to study Radium, even knowing it was making her sick. It is also horrifying to think that her clothes are still radioactive. I feel like this book handled Marie's affair with a married man very tactfully, without being dishonest. These biographies are such easy reads with so much information woven into a seamles...
