About this title

Synopsis

Countless statutes, sculptures, and structures have been built to celebrate important moments and people in US history. However, some US monuments are structures build before the United States was even a country, and others are landforms produced by natural forces thousands of years ago. The dazzling photographs in this volume are sure to teach and tantalize readers. Age-appropriate text is paired with graphic organizers to help readers get the most from this entertaining guide to US monuments.

From School Library Journal

Gr 2-4-These collections of thumbnail sketches highlight strange, significant, and unusual facts about American history. By and large, each page features one fact (e.g., "The US Constitution wasn't the first American constitution") with a few sentences that explain the information. The well-curated content is peppered with information that is of use to report writers and of interest to casual readers. For example, "There is a handprint on the Declaration of Independence" and "There's no recorded proof that Betsy Ross sewed the first US flag." Accessibility for readers is enhanced by concise, direct writing and large, high-impact fonts. Informative and entertaining. α(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journal.
