Review: Covers an Era Usually Ignored in American History - For most school children, American Colonial history starts with the founding of Plymouth in 1620 and then fast forwards to 1775 and the beginning of the American Revolution. That is 155 years of important American history that is usually ignored. Fortunately, Betsy Maestro covers this formative period in two books, "The New Americans" and "Struggle for a Continent: The French and Indian Wars". Betsy Maestro is a very clear writer and tells what could be a complicated story in a manner appropriate for young children. In addition, she is as "unbiased" as you could hope for in a book like this. The only downside with this book are the illustrations. I found Giulio Maestro's illustrations to be amateurish and out of scale. But having said that, my nine year old son was fine with Maestro's illustrations. Betsy Maestro's "The American Story" series is really well written. I will be purchasing all of the books in the series. This series does a great job of introducing American history to young children in a throughtful and measured manner. My sense is that in time, this series will become a classic of children's historical non-fiction. Highly recommended.
Review: Best kids history book - I am astounded by how much I love this book. The entire series is phenomenal. Hats off firstly to the artwork. A majority of the images are 18th-century paintings redone in colored pencil to appeal to kids. Secondly, The narrative is slightly encyclopedic in nature but that makes it that much more informative. Long term I know my kids will love it but right now as I read/look with younger kids it is very easy to tell the story of each page. Love the authentic history told through wonderful artwork.
