4-6All About America series.
This series provides snapshots of life during significant periods in American history. Important and well-known individuals and events are highlighted throughout on double-page spreads. It's all a little whitewashed, but the texts' friendly tone will draw in readers, as will the pages packed with eye-catching visuals--sketches, spot art, photos, etc. (though spreads may be difficult for some readers to navigate). Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these All About America titles: Colonists and Independence, Cowboys and the Wild West, Wagon Trains and Settlers, and Gold Rush and Riches.
