5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful coloring book teaches children about missions.,
By Emily Ravey (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: California Missions Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
With exquisite illustrations and easy-to-follow copy, this coloring book is the perfect way to introduce children (3rd grade and up) and adults alike to the history of the California missions. The book gives us a window into the day to day lives of the people who lived in the missions, Native Americans and missionaries alike. A must for any educator looking for quality instructional material or parent looking to enrich their children's minds

More than a coloring book,

This review is from: California Missions Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
Although the reading level is recommended for ages 4-8 this little book can prove very useful for parent , student and teacher alike of older children. Dover Publications allows their pages to be used for graphic and craft applications free without special permission. In California students are required in the fourth grade to study the California Missions. A major project results in model building and art work coupled usually with a written researched report. As a supplement to the students study this coloring book has many facts and nice illustrations that can be used in the students project. The teacher can use the pages to make copies for their students and develop lesson plans around the illustrations. Putting several pages together in a packet, creating a theme for study can further stimulate the student. All 21 missions are covered emphasizing the architectural splendor that existed in "romantic" early California. Everyday life is depicted as well as a brief overview of the Franciscan friars led by Junipero Serra that will also benefit the young student. This coloring book can be much more useful with creative development by the student, teacher or parent in accomplishing one of the educational goals establsihed for sixth grade students in California. It is a simple elementary book with lots of potential. This is one of many coloring books by Dover Press that explores many different topics like Dinosaurs, The American Automobile, The American Revolution , Space Exploration and more. Get this little book to help your student learn more about the California Missions.
