This photo information book is a beginning-to-read book in the publishers' "Welcome Books" series on Colonial America. It has one or two simple sentences per page with an accompanying photo of adults dressed in period costumes. The workers identified are blacksmiths, carpenters, coopers, cobblers, wigmakers and farmers. Simplicity is the approach. The book will be an addition to the study of Colonial America but this topic is usually taught in grade levels beyond the reading level of the book. Vocabulary words, other resources including one Website and a simple index make up the back matter. 2002, Children's Press,
