This book offers excellent photographs and illustrations, as well as informative text. The interesting layout and design makes it suitable for all ages. All the important information is here and well organized.

Get this one.

Sure beats Peter Lourie's "On the Trail of Sacagawea" Enough text to be challenging -- good for an elementary-age book report. Great for ideas for diorama building -- the illustrations and photos are first-rate. Small inset boxes give detailed information and add a lot to the book. This is the best early book for putting all the Native American tribes into context -- in fact, it is the only book we found that mentions every group of Native Americans and describes Clark's interviews with them.

Super work.

This book has fun projects -- how to make mocassins and other stuff -- as well as excellent pictures to go with a reasonable amount of text. I look forward to sharing this with my daughter when she's old enough to enjoy it! I just happen to like things about the Lewis & Clark journey and got this before she's ready for it.

I bought this book to go with a unit plan about Lewis and Clark for third and fourth graders. I ended up using this book for reference and somewhat of a guideline for the entire unity. It covers just the right stuff for an appropriate grade level unit. I used the book in centers/workstations during the unit also. I liked this book a lot.
