This book is going hand in hand with my Lewis and Clark Unit. I chose it because of the excellent illustrations and how it condenses the whole of the expedition.
Wonderful pictures. Great Action. Good for Children

I highly recommend this book as one of the better children's books about the Lewis and Clark Expedition--solely for its wonderfully beautiful and active pictures. I acknowledge and appreciate the astute scholar in another review who corrected the author about an error (quite important, actually), but even so, Kroll's choice of story and great pictures outweigh the regrettable error. The story for children comes across very well regardless. The target audience children won't know the difference and it does not detract from the overall story. They will still gain a very good understanding about the mission and hardships Lewis and Clark and their army detachment overcame. Wonderful book.
