Colorado History Resource,
This review is from: A Kid's Look at Colorado (Paperback)
While adults and young adults might well enjoy
reading A Kid's Look at Colorado, it was written primarily for students from grades 4 to 8 who are studying Colorado history. Exploration, statehood, mining, railroading, natural resources including plants and animals, lakes and rivers, government and schooling, national parks & monuments within the state are all presented in this comprehensive state history along with more than 100 photographs.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Kid's Look at Colorado (Paperback)
I expected this book to be geared more for young kids (7-12) but found it to be more for teens. I bought it to help our grandchildren learn more about Colorado as they live in Indiana. I will hold it for later but was disappointed.
