Editorial Reviews

04/01/2014
Gr 2–4—Written clearly and concisely, this series is similar in scope to Scholastic's "True Books." Each title is made up of short, two-page long chapters that contain a brief but substantive paragraph and a full-color, high-resolution photograph of people and places. Occasional "Fact" sidebars add an assortment of tangential information, such as "One President, Grover Cleveland, served two terms that were four years apart." The writing style is straightforward and on target for young readers, while the design is done in an attractive stars and stripes theme. An ideal introduction to the ins and outs of the U.S. government.
