About this title

Review

Have you ever wondered how long it took to carve out Mount Rushmore, who takes care of it, and who are those faces, anyway? These questions and more are answered in this primer written in Spanish for early elementary students. It s plastered with full-color photographs, ranging from sticks of dynamite used to blast away bits of the mountain for carving to historic in-progress photos. A nifty closing glossary (with photos) and an index give readers an opportunity to go back and review. This concise look at the construction of Mount Rushmore and the history of the presidents it honors is suited for both Spanish speaking children and learners of Spanish, since the language is simple and the topic is educational, geared to anyone who has an interest in learning about one of the nation s most well-known monuments. --Booklist (8/1/2017)
