A very short book about Peter the Great - the Tsar who drug Russia (kicking and screaming) into more modern times. This is a children's book, so it is not very detailed, but the artwork is beautiful and there is enough information to whet the appetite about a historical figure whose name I knew, but not much else. I did find it very interesting that he learned to do things from the ground up (like shipbuilding), and wanted to do away with people being given positions they had not earned from starting at the bottom.

Wonderful pictures. Probably for 9 or 10 year olds. I'm giving it to a 2nd grader named Peter, but he's got a big head already.
