(2) K-3 Illustrated by Michael McCurdy. Huffing, puffing, smoking railroad engines appear majestically in McCurdy's fine scratchboard and watercolor illustrations of the building of the transcontinental railroad. Kay's history lesson is set out in spare lines of verse, which move events briskly along. The book provides a strong, memorable taste that will surely enliven many a social studies lesson.
Reviewer: Margaret A. Bush | Horn Book Magazine Issue: July, 1999
