School Library Journal

Gr 3-5-- Beautiful full-color pictures highlight this book. ``Fast Facts'' gives important statistics about Denver and lists festivals and parades. A U.S. map highlights Colorado and is followed by a map of Denver showing points of interest. Spies traces Denver's history as a gold rush boom town and describes the city of today, including the many ethnic groups represented there and some of the unique architecture of the city. The style is fluid and lively, and the crisp, colorful layout will attract children. --Candy Colborn, Cottonwood Creek Elementary School, Englewood, Colo.
