(4) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Berry. Twins Lenny and Elizabeth travel back in time with their grandmother to the Oregon Trail in 1843. The text mixes in some history with the adventure, and dialogue balloons add humor, while the cheerful pastel-colored illustrations of well-scrubbed pioneers give a whitewashed view of this arduous overland trek. Maps and an author's note clarify the historical background.
