*Features* Reading level: Ages 9-12 Library Binding: 84 pages Published by: Lerner Publishing Group; 2 Rev Exp edition December 2001 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0822540657 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0822540656 Book Dimensions: 8.1 x 7.4 x 0.4 inches Weighs: 11.7 ounces *From School Library Journal* Grade 3-5-Although not completely rewritten, these revised series entries sport several changes from the earlier editions, in both cosmetics and content. Slightly bigger pages, more spacious layout, and greater fonts with color accents make the books more attractive throughout. The quick-reference section at the end has a new heading and expanded content, including the "Fun Facts" relocated from the front of the book, a "Learn More" component listing books and Web sites, plus "State Song" and "Recipe" pages. Offering gumbo as Louisiana's recipe, however, ignores the difficulty of making a good roux base. Although the four main chapters also have new headings, the changes to these sections are limited to a handful of different illustrations, updated statistical information plugged into the necessary spots, and only two to three paragraphs of new text. The new maps are valuable but by not completely rewriting the texts, the authors miss the opportunity to correct some subtle Eurocentric bias in the history. Although Texas includes a fairly well-balanced inset about Quanah Parker, both volumes underestimate the contributions of their indigenous populations. Likewise, although Louisiana spotlights Free People of Color in an inset, both books tend to focus more on the termination of Slavery in economic terms rather than a tragically overdue, though admittedly nominal, recognition of African Americans' humanity. Still a strong alternative to the "From Sea to Shining Sea" series (Children's), these revised volumes nonetheless have their flaws.

(Hello USA) (Paperback) I bought this for my son so he could do his school report on the State of Louisiana. It's a perfect book for this. Nicely written, nice photographs, plenty of detail for the level he needed. Comment \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
