Junko Tabei Masters the Mountains

Book is quite small which is a good thing but a bit over priced

I will always read the rebel girls series because THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DISAPPOINT YOU!This one is awe-inspiring as was expected and I would have never known this personality had it not been this book! And I am so glad that #NetGalley made it possible for me to grasp and read this book #JunkoTabeiMasterstheMountainsAnd as always, it's the first half of the book that is so well written getting hold of your attention offering you the best childhood stories ever told!I really like the simple, interesting writing style of the book. The illustration is just amazing! Every relevant point in the life of the personality has been mentioned with such warmth and enthusiasm that it's just impossible for you not to get motivated. Ever heard of teachers who motivate students without discrimination? Got it here. Ever heard of great fathers giving full support of their daughters' dreams? Got it here. But ever heard of a relevant someone in your life not supporting the same? Got it here as well! Ever heard of life threatening difficulties in the way of achieving your biggest dreams? Yes, the book is the answer to this!Wow! And the bonus part?! I totally adore the love story! It's so like cute and inspirational!One of the best books in the rebel girls series!

A great story about the first woman who climbed Everest. Beautifully written.

The quality of the printed book was new but the book is formatted differently than most books. It may be the size and the cut of the edges.I gifts this to a friend’s child who was 8 years old. Some kids younger or that struggle with chapter books may need to have someone read it to them. Before I gave it to them I previewed the book. This is a good book for kids to learn about the first women who summited Mount Everest. It is simply written but still nice to read.

I introduced this book as part of a unit looking at character traits for third graders. I wanted some historical fiction, because the unit before this one was biography, and it was a nice way to transition from nonfiction to fiction--and the difference between a biography and a fictional account built (however heavily) on truth. It was a really nice way to show how real life provided the bones of the story, and the author(s) imagination filled in everything else.All but five of my 32 reading students speak and read English as a second language, so I also chose this book because the character was not born in the U.S. (Because of Winn-Dixie is also in this unit, so that background is taken care of). I had them read along in the text while we listened to the book. The pace is a little fast for third grade English Language Learners to keep up, so I slowed the pace to .9 (.8 at points where we were reviewing a section to look for specific language or details) to help with that. Any lower than .8 and the sound starts to suffer. The pace at 100% is pleasant to listen to, but too fast to read along with for students this young, and with less fluent English language proficiency.The class loved the story of Junko Tabei. They liked comparing her to themself, to other characters they had read thus far in the school year, and it was easy to identify character traits from the text. The narrator was engaging and I will definitely use this book again in my class. We were largely remote at the time of this reading. Presenting the cloud reader through Google Meet made it easy for students to hear the book clearly.

Wonderful story. We learned a lot. We really like the whole series. Rebel Girls, Yeah!!
