Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5–This book begins with biographical sketches of the important people who shaped events prior to, during, and immediately after the Louisiana Purchase, such as Robert Livingston, James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, Napoléon Bonaparte, and Charles Leclerc. Concisely written, the large-print text includes information on the early exploration of the area, the French and Indian War, and the American Revolution. The authors also extend the topic to include the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the settling of the West and how these settlements affected the Native Americans, and the Missouri Compromise. The Roops dramatize and invent dialogue in the opening chapter, describing a bath scene in which Napoléon decides to sell Louisiana. The black-and-white illustrations and map of the United States in the early 1800s may help students visualize some of the events. Elizabeth D. Jaffe's The Louisiana Purchase (Capstone, 2002) covers the same material for the same age group and includes a glossary, time line, index, Internet sites, bibliography, reproductions of illustrations in color, photos of the cover and first page of the actual treaty, and copies of engravings.– Ann Joslin, formerly at Erie County Public Library, PA

From Booklist

Gr. 3-5. The Louisiana Purchase is the stated topic in this entry in the Milestone Books series, but this volume also provides background on the event and a look at what followed--the Lewis and Clark expedition, the settling of the West, effects on Native Americans, and the Missouri Compromise. The contrived comedy and presumably invented conversations (no source notes are provided) of the book's opening scene, a dramatization of Napoleon in his perfumed bath vowing to sell Louisiana, may put off some readers. Of course, the same qualities may pull in others, and those who stay the course will find a good, concise history of the Louisiana Territory, written in terms accessible to middle-graders.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way for kids to learn about American History!, October 19, 2004
By Cynthia E. Downes "Cindy Downes" (Broken Arrow, OK, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This wonderful, 84 page chapter book is an excellent way to get American history into your children. It's easy to read, easy to understand, and your children will find it entertaining as well as informative. They will learn about Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon Bonaparte, Robert Livingston, James Monroe, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Sacagawea, and their respective roles in purchasing and exploring the Louisiana Purchase. Black and white illustrations are included throughout the book to help them visualize the events. It's so good, you'll want to read it yourself and learn what you didn't learn in school! I recommend using it for family reading times for K-6th grade.
