BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Junko Tabei always wanted to climb mountains, but mountain climbing equipment was made for men, so she improvised. When men wouldn't climb with her, she planned an all-women expedition to Mt. Everest. Nothing can stop Junko Tabei.
I love these picture book biographies. I've learned about so many different people, and now I know about the first woman to climb Mt. Everest. The illustrations are well done, and the book contains an author's note, timeline and a bibliography. Junko Tabei was Japanese.
