DISCLOSURE: I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com), May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own.

Everyone in the family loves to read. My oldest almost always has her nose buried in a book. My younger two kids are always asking my husband and me to read them a story. Books are definitely a big part of our lives.

So, we were all excited to receive these two books from Moms Meet to review. When I told my six-year-old son that I had books about boy and girl heroes, he wanted to rush home from school so he could take a look at them.



The Book of Heroes: Tales of History's Most Daring Dudes features stories about real life heroes, such as Martin Luther King, Jr, Jackie Robinson, and Neil Armstrong, as well as fictional characters, like Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter. At first, my son was a little disappointed that the book wasn't actually all about his favorite comic book heroes. But, he got more interested in the book as we flipped through it together. He liked learning about the 7 characteristics of a hero. After reading them, we talked about what storybook characters he thought would be considered a hero.


The Book of Heroines: Tales of History's Gutsiest Gals is similar and features stories about women such as Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, and Harriet Tubman. My daughters liked this book and I even caught my 12-year-old reading through it, unprompted.



I liked that both books also featured people of the opposite gender. The Heroes book also featured "Gutsy Gals" and the Heroines book features "Daring Dudes." The stories are short enough to read through just a couple with my younger kids and my older kids can flip through and skim and read about the people they found interesting.

Both books will be released November 8th and retail for $14.99. These would be a great gift idea for Christmas! They can be purchased at all major bookstores as well as online.
