Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-The story of the Corps of Discovery has recently recaptured American interest, and Adler's version of the historical expedition captures the spirit of adventure for a young audience. The most important facts and dates of the expedition are related in a casual, interest-grabbing style. The watercolor paintings span two-page spreads and convey the grandeur and scope of the unexplored West. The text is well placed within the illustrations. Similar to Steven Kroll's Lewis & Clark: Explorers of the American West (Holiday, 1994), this book is on an even easier reading level. A worthy addition to the series, it will be used for reports as well as for general interest.

From Booklist

Gr. 2-4. From the Picture Book Biography series, this well-illustrated book introduces Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and their most celebrated joint venture. Sandwiched between biographical information on the leaders before and after the journey, a longer section on the expedition shows significant moments as the Corps of Discovery made its way across the continent and back. A short book about a large subject must necessarily leave many things out, but Adler does a creditable job of presenting basic information about the Lewis and Clark Expedition as well as the two men who led it. Brightening every double-page spread, Himler's impressionistic paintings include quiet portraits of the men as well as dramatic scenes from their adventures. Carolyn Phelan

4.0 out of 5 stars WELL DONE WORK - NOT FOR THE VERY YOUNG, August 28, 2006
This review is from: A Picture Book of Lewis and Clark (Picture Book Biography) (Paperback)
I liked this work, but must agree with another reviewer there, this work probably would not be suitable for ages four and five. The illustrations are great, well executed and interesting. The text is quite precise and historically quite accurate. The text did match the illustrations. As I said though, kindergarten and first graders probably would loose interest in this one. I did read it to the third and forth graders though and they did enjoy it. The only other criticism I may have is that I did not feel it addressed the extreme hardships these men went through. On the other hand, I was well able to correct this through discussion. Overall recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for Kindergarten, February 24, 2005
This review is from: A Picture Book of Lewis and Clark (Picture Book Biography) (Paperback)
The book has beautiful pictures and contains a lot of useful information. Unfortunately, the pages are long and the information reads more like a text book at times than a story book. My third grader enjoyed parts of the book and learned from it, but my kindergartener hated it.
