Prairie Town

32 pp. | Houghton/Lorraine | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-395-85907-7
(2) K-3 Panoramic spreads featuring typical events of perhaps a generation ago evoke small-town life on the prairie. Depicting an entire town from different vantage points, Arthur Geisert summarizes activities of a single year. The text is clear and uncondescending, making the book suitable for use with older children. A pleasure as social history, as Americana, and as an unusually creative use of fine illustration to convey information.
