Galen and the Gateway to Medicine (Living History Library) 1 review Jeanne Bendick
Bethlehem Books, 2002
Grandson fascinated!
Our 10 year old grandson started the book and couldn't put it down. He declared early in his young life that he wants to be a scientist, so this is perfect for him.
We are great fans of all that Bethlehem Books publishes. They are very accurate in their judgement of age appropriateness.
