My Review:
This series of books are great for young readers and even older ones too.   I like them because as the reader you get to view the pictures in the text to help a younger reader really understand that this is the place where a factual thing happened!   I think these books could be great resources for anyone looking to do research on any history aspects.   I like how these books can easily be related to the Common Core standards for anyone trying to make their lessons based on them.  

The print is bigger and the pages are filled with pictures and factual information that keeps the reader interested!
