Those who visit the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, for example, may be saddened, while tourists to the Black Hills may enjoy hiking and biking the trails. Each spread features a large image; readers may see cannons on the Gettysburg Battlefield or reenactors dressed as Mexican soldiers at the Alamo. The colorful photos bring this series to life and will appeal to readers. A special feature such as the Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde or details on the layered construction of the Statue of Liberty is included in each title. A comprehension quiz and answer key are provided in the back matter along with a glossary and suggested book list. Educators will find lesson plans and other resources on the Focus Readers website. VERDICT A good purchase to support intermediate grades studying landmarks tied to American history.
