From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4–In this brief history, students learn basic facts about our nation's capital. In keeping with the series format, the book opens with statistics and then offers a chronological history and chapters on the people, land, economy, government, and Things to See and Do. Why the District of Columbia is not a state and how Congress has the final word on its budget are explained. Many colorful graphs illustrate the statistical information. Color photos and maps are also included. There are a few issues with the text, including capitol used incorrectly in one instance, and much simplification. A paragraph discussing the Civil War says that slavery was a key issue but does not mention any others. However, the writing is lively and the book provides enough information for a basic report. The entries in the Celebrate the States (Benchmark) and America the Beautiful (Children's Press) series are longer and go into more detail.–Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VA
