Reviews
Grade 3-5. Fifteen "mini reports" each feature a topic related to the Westward expansion: explorers and trailblazers, trappers and traders, Native Americans, buffalo, etc. Most topics are treated in a double-page spread, illustrated with cartoon drawings and ending with a number of silly, subject-related riddles: "Why can't a buffalo dance?" "He has two left feet." Two-to-four titles or magazine articles for further reading appear at the end of each spread. Coverage is uneven; some spreads are so brief that they provide merely an encyclopedic overview. A slight book that will be of limited use, except possibly as a read-aloud for sparking student interest.?Rosie Peasley, Empire Union School District, Modesto, CA

Gr. 3^-5. It's the jokes and riddles that will attract kids to this light introduction to the history of the West. On each double-page spread, there's a quick overview of a subject--from trappers and traders to Native Americans and cowboys--along with a few cartoons, a group of riddles, and a list of one or two books for further reading. The prose is pedestrian and the history clearly oversimplified, but teachers will welcome the humor as a way to get kids relaxed and listening. Hazel Rochman
