(4) 4-6 Fact Finders: Perspectives on History series. "Brilliant sailor" or "villain"--"Which perspective is true?" The book chronicles Columbus's early aspirations, voyages, discoveries, and legacies while touching on both his achievements and his transgressions throughout. Though some meaty information is buried in sidebars or tiny illustration captions, there's lots of solid history here, and the perspective-challenging objective is successful. Common Core critical thinking questions are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.
