(4) 4-6 In American History series. The latest installments in this series begin with gripping scenes featuring key players and participants in the historical conflicts discussed, and the authors generally don't let up on the drama. Thanks to short sentences and large print, these comprehensive primers shouldn't intimidate, but dark black-and-white archival photos and illustrations detract from the design. Each book includes quotations from primary sources and a time line. Bib., ind.
