The story of the European discovery of North America does not end with—in fact it does not really even begin with—Christopher Columbus. This engaging title tells the story of the explorers who became the first Europeans to visit the lands that would later become the United States of America. Readers will learn about the Spanish explorers of the Southwest and the Gulf Coast, the English and Dutch explorers of the Atlantic Coast, and the French explorers of the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi River. They'll discover what the goals and motivations behind each expedition were, which native people the explorers encountered, and what sorts of obstacles had to be overcome for each expedition to succeed. A fascinating account of a formational period in American history.

      Gr 3-5-Britannica stays true to its roots with this earnest, well-researched series. There are plenty of details, but thanks to the straightforward tone and a museum's curatorial approach to image selection and placement, the content is never cramped or overwhelming. Content is comprehensive, covering as it does religion, politics, social mores, geography, and more. Using a kid-friendly economy of words, the author takes great care to explain the social and political differences among the southern, middle, and New England colonies. There is some overlapping of material between The Colonial Period and The American Revolution but not so much that it should deter buyers. VERDICT A worthwhile purchase for most libraries.
