Not as good as other bobble head books we've read. Did not garner many questions from the 7yo.

All though this is geared towards older children I quite enjoyed reading this short book. I was surprised that there was actually something in here that I hadn’t known before reading this. The Who Was series is definitely something I would have read growing up. It’s perfect for children 9 - 12 who love to learn about history. But just because they are geared towards that age group don’t let it stop you from reading one for yourself. I’m an adult who enjoyed reading this short biography and I plan on looking into reading more of them.

The queen who popularized the white wedding dress, and whose husband, Prince Albert popularized the Christmas tree.

It was fascinating but it didn't cover any of the many assassination attempts against her, including when she was pregnant with her first child and Albert selflessly got shot shielding her body with his own. Makes me wonder what other information I would be missing out on.

I liked it. She has the longest reign over Great Britain ever.

A simple, but thorough biography of Queen Victoria for young readers or anyone curious about her.
