Animated Hero Classics, Biographies for Kids

Updated 3/24/2020.

This is an animated biography series for kids that can be used for teaching history and character training. They can be hard to find online, though sometimes you can google for them and find them. Many libraries carry them and I highly recommend looking for them. The series focuses on the lives of 20 historical figures and their contributions to history. Here is more from the distributor's website:
