(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright & Ying-Hwa Hu. This thorough and authoritative (although occasionally dry) book attempts to reconstruct the story of York, who, born a slave to the Clark family, accompanied Lewis and Clark's expedition. The dark-hued colored-pencil and watercolor illustrations capture the story's tone, but some pieces look static and unfinished. An author's note includes sources and more information. Ind.
