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.
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.
This book combines roughly 3 pages of pure biography with an account of the history and results of Lewis and Clark's journey. It includes a very good map and great illustrations, especially of the boats. Adler weaves in excerpts from the journals (be ready to help your child with some spellings) and does a great job conveying the vastness of America. However, this book does not really capture how brave the explorers were.
