La compra de Luisiana (The Louisiana Purchase)

by Seth Lynch

Overview

When the Louisiana Territory was added to the United States in 1803, it about doubled the size of the young nation. It took years to clarify its boundaries and explore every square mile. How this momentous purchase came to be and its implications on the future of the United States are explained in detail in this book. Uncomplicated maps and simple language help developing readers and those in need of review to understand the many changes in this land that started with its purchase in 1803.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2019

Gr 3–6—Essential to any collection is a comprehensive series on American history that accurately represents a variety of perspectives, especially those of traditionally underrepresented groups and people of color. While this Spanish series briefly touches on topics like immigration, the Native American experience, and slavery, the content is still outweighed by the depiction of white colonists. The layout and graphic elements of this series, however, make it widely appealing, especially to striving readers, and could serve as a starting point for important conversations about history. VERDICT Graphics and layout make this series broadly appealing; subject matter is a starting point for early learners but not recommended for the middle grades.
