I must confess, I do not know much about Peary and Henson. For that reason I found this book informative. The format of the book was interesting with the Inuit references and also im images and reflections of Henson as a young man and as an older man. An older audience would certainly appreciate the book and the history of it. For my particular audience of mainly 4th and 5th graders there was a bit too much swearing and some situations with Peary, his wife, and a native woman. Good book, just not for my group.
