Editorial Reviews

04/01/2017
K-Gr 2—Informative details about each landmark's history and construction are the best part of this set. Books have a single-chapter format with one to three declarative sentences on one side and a full-page photo or illustration on the other. Each has a solid locator map, a description of what the landmark commemorates and its contemporary use, information about its inspiration and construction, and a brief visitor's guide. A concluding page provides thumbnail photos with additional facts. Advanced terms are defined in a photo glossary that has a higher reading level than the text. Photos are bright and colorful, but there are few children in them and they tend toward the generic. This series is appealing but isn't quite as well written and attractive as Jump!'s "Hello America!," which visits many of the same places. VERDICT A solid additional choice.
