Book 'em, Dan-O,

This review is from: Hawaii (Portrait of America) (School & Library Binding)
Grass skirts, pineapples, Hawaii 5-O, poi, surfing, volcanoes... these are the things most people might think of when they think of Hawaii. However, there is more to this gorgeous cluster of islands than that.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 "Hawaii" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. My only reservation is that the History section should have focused more attention on the ancient civilizations that flourished on the islands over the centuries. This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators. |
