4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Informative, July 12, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ellis Island (True Books: American History) (Paperback)
This book was different from what I expected, but it was very informative on Ellis Island. I expected to use it as a read-aloud for my students, but it is set up differently. The book is based more off pictures and extensive captions, which makes it difficult to read aloud. However, I think it will make a great resource for my classroom, and students will enjoy looking it over during their free time.
