Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Grade 2-6-In a lively scrapbook-style format, an African-American student records a class trip from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. Danny arrives via Amtrak at Union Station and tours the city with three friends. The illustrations are an attractive collage of watercolor drawings and color photographs. The page that describes the city's subway system shows an actual fare card and Metro map. Famous landmarks such as the White House, the Capitol building, the Air and Space Museum, and the National Zoo are featured with interesting captions that might be enlightening even to native Washingtonians. An informal appendix containing, among other things, a D.C. time line, a discussion of U.S. government, and a map of the National Mall, does a good job of supplementing the facts and trivia presented in the body of the text. A list of cultural sites does not include the new Roosevelt Memorial, unfortunately dating the book a little at the onset. The last page lists books, Web sites, and bureaus to contact for further information. This book will intrigue students preparing for a trip or gathering facts for a report. The format is far more engaging than the traditional nonfiction book on a geographic location.

Review

With the huge numbers of families that visit D.C. every year, this will have a long life. And with so many teachers using the scrapbook and journal format for teaching creative writing, the format will also have great appeal as a travel diary. - J.F.S. -- Kids Pick of the Lists, Bookselling This Week, October 11, 1999
