Steve Parker's biography of Galileo in the book Science Discoveries: Galileo and the Universe was a lot like a child's textbook. This book had tons of information about Galileo ranging from mathematics to his study of the planets. The book had lots of drawings, figures, pictures as well.I did find this book to have perhaps too much information on each page. The text was a bit small for a child to read well, and the reader may also lose interest in the book, as I did about half-way through.
On a positive side, I would suggest this book if a child was looking up some quick information on Galileo. The book is well divided into different discoveries by this famous professor. If you are interested in a getting a quick glimpse at his inventions, you could do so easily with this book. I do not recommend this for a child to read directly from cover to cover.
