My WorksThe Great Expedition
of Lewis and Clark Illustrations by Sally Wern Comport (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2003) “This is the first book that this reviewer has seen that makes it possible for young people to understand the importance of the expedition. Detailing the information from the journal of Reubin Field...it is possible for a young person to imagine him or herself being in the canoes or learning from the Indians. Lavishly illustrated, the book should be a must read for each young person.” --Heritage Quest Henry Hudson and His Voyage of Exploration in World History
(Enslow Publishers, 2002) “As part of the series, 'In World History,' this account of Henry Hudson’s travels to the new world and exploration of three bodies of water that now bear his name...provides a glimpse into the struggles Hudson and his men met in their attempt to chart the unknown...[provides] details about the livelihood of his men and the Native Americans whom they met along the way. Her selection of black-and-white maps, sketches, and photographs is varied and adds texture to a well-told story. Readers will gain some knowledge about the use of primary sources since Edwards draws judiciously from Hudson’s diaries, thereby giving the writing a sense of immediacy and life”. --Children’s Literature Review. |
