From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-In this easy-to-read account of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's dangerous triumph, readers will learn about their 1953 expedition. The book includes biographical information about both men, a list of necessary equipment for climbing and camping, and a lively overview of the climbers' experiences. Readers will walk through each milestone of the journey and breathe a sigh of relief when the team reaches the summit. Throughout the book, full-color and black-and-white photographs depict the men before, during, and after their victory. These pictures help put into perspective the massive size of the mountain and the enormity of the accomplishment. The typeface is large, and the format is appealing. A concluding note to parents stresses the importance of introducing their children to nonfiction.
