Accurate and easy for young minds to understand
Got this for a presentation to a class of 5th graders on the 200th anniversary of Lafayette's Tour of America. All the information was the same as I was seeing on Wikipedia, and Lafayette 200. Left it for the class to have for future years and study.

Perfect to spark a child's interest in our country's rich history
It was a beautiful little book to get a child interested in our nation's rich history. My granddaughter loved it! It is simple enough for younger children but in a short book with great illustrations, there is a lot to get the little wheels turning.
