(1) K-3 Striking cinematic front endpapers describe the creation of the Transcontinental Railroad. Then, in a sort of historical-fiction-meets-travelogue narrative, Floca zeroes in on one family's journey from Omaha to San Francisco. Floca excels at juxtaposing sweeping panoramas with intimate, slice-of-life moments. Varied font sizes and styles on the large pages beautifully capture the feel of the Old West. An author's note is included. Bib.
