Arlington: The Story of Our Nation's Cemetery

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Flash Point | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-517-9 $17.99
(4) K-3 This richly detailed picture book presents the origin and history of Arlington National Cemetery from its early ties to George Washington to its present-day significance. Demarest's illustrations successfully create the tranquil setting and complement the respectful tone of the thorough, well-researched text. In spite of a few significant misspellings (e.g., Fort Sumpter), this is a satisfying introduction to a national landmark. Reading list, timeline, websites.
