School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-6-The authors distill history down to its essentials, explaining the key players, events, causes, and effects in a way that is accessible to young students. Sidebars highlight key people, places, movements, and primary source documents. The primary source documents are accompanied by questions that prompt students to think in greater depth ("Read this excerpt closely. How would you change it for a different audience, such as your parents or younger friends?"). Each chapter ends with "Further Evidence," a sidebar that provides discussion questions and a publisher affiliated web address for more research, and the well-curated illustrations consist of archival photographs, drawings, and maps. A solid series. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
