Reseñas

just had to put it out there


(5 stars)

I can't believe some people think it so horrible that not enough women or minorities are present in an old children's history book, which is free in audiobook format... how about people give a fair review for what is actually in the book, and not their righteous ideas of what should be? I have no complaints with this book.


(5 stars)
