Gr 2-4-These books are disappointing. The texts are overly simplistic and dry. Full-color drawings, photographs of people re-creating events, and reproductions of paintings (the artists are not always identified) appear on almost every page. Information in Leaders is superficial and redundant, e.g., "Benjamin Franklin lived a long life. He was a true American-." In Life after the American Revolution, Wade inserts information on Shay's Rebellion without explaining why it was important. Life in Colonial America is equally uninformative: "Southern plantation homes were larger. They were beautiful, and staffed by servants called slaves." Bland and boring.-Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.Book Details
