Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8 With the exception of the Appomattox book, each of these titles opens with a dramatic moment or the high point of the historical happening. Then background information, historical implications, and events leading to that moment are related in clear, simple language. By focusing on a single event or narrow topic, each book is able to include adequate detail. . . .Empire State Building is an interesting account of the construction of the world's tallest building at the time, although one mislabelled photo contradicts the text. All have a good selection of period drawings and/or photographs. Short length and relatively easy reading level make this series attractive to reluctant researchers in the middle grades, and the factual detail will provide an approachable source of information to young readers.
