Editorial Reviews

Gr 3-5-The "primary source" material in these books is only the historical photographs spread throughout. Each title has three to four short chapters, photographs with long captions, and informational sidebars. Egan covers the essentials of American government in clear sentences. While most elementary-grade students will reject these books as far too simplistic, reluctant readers or students with delayed cognitive abilities may find them useful. They are far less comprehensive than titles in the "I Know America" or "Land of the Free" series (both Millbrook) or Watts's "First Books."-Linda Beck, Indian Valley Public Library, Telford, PA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

School Library Journal

Series Review: A Primary Source Library of American Citizenship "This series could well be a breakthrough for those struggling to teach government to lower level readers. Each book is rich with colorful photos of primary sources related to the topic. Every level reader will find a wealth of insights and fascinating facts. RECOMMENDED.” —Library Media Connection
