Really good,
This review is from: The Lewis and Clark Expedition Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I can't say enough about this one - this is way beyond your usual coloring book. Are your kids tired of coloring simple bunnies and trees? This is beautifully drawn and has an educational edge as well. A good one!

A little disappointing, but it serves its purpose,
By homeschooler (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lewis and Clark Expedition Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
We have really enjoyed studying Lewis and Clark, so I bought this to serve as a review and fun history activity. However, I feel that this coloring book overlooks the Corps of Discovery's positive encounters with Native Americans and instead plays up the aggressive ones. Most of the Indians received them well and were curious. The book, for example, mentions the Sioux, but fails to mention that the Yankton Sioux were friendly, but the Teton Sioux were not. I think it is important when learning about Native Americans that children understand the differences among tribes and the fact that most were/are peaceable. Also, Lewis's dog Seaman was a HUGE black fluffy Newfoundland, and the only picture that portrays him is nothing like that breed at all. I mention this, as there are a few great books we've used to study Lewis and Clark that were written from the dog's perspective (Seaman's Journal, Lewis and Clark and Me, and The Captain's Dog). Of course these type of coloring books are pretty handy if you have a child that is reluctant to study history, but enjoys coloring; however, if your child enjoys history and reads a lot, they may find some inaccuracies. The major details in this book seem to be correct though, so I believe that whether as a review or introduction, it serves its purpose. It is definitely incomplete and should be supplemented with a more favorable portrayal of Indians (and Seaman too!).

No More Winnie-the-Pooh Coloring Books for My Kids,
This review is from: The Lewis and Clark Expedition Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
Little Johnnie and Betsy and Allison will no longer spend mindless hours coloring bunnies and squirrels- now they can learn important American history lessons from the comfort of their own kitchen table. I'll tell ya- these pictures are going up on the frig!
