(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. Illustrated by John Manders. This short book explains Lewis and Clark's capture of a prairie dog to send home to President Jefferson. Redmond keeps the tone light, and the cartoony illustrations add humor; it appears the trip was fun for all. This is an easy-to-read introduction to the Lewis and Clark story, but even very young readers will figure out the explorers most likely drowned almost an entire prairie dog town to capture just one.
