5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautiful state, June 27, 2004
This review is from: Colorado (Portrait of America) (Paperback)
Colorado is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful states of the United States. But there's more to it than just snow-capped mountains. This book explores the complexities of Colorado's landscape and economy.
The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Colorado" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. And this edition is loaded with several beautiful photographs.
This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
