Convincing
young readers to learn about history can be challenging,
but Allen and Nicole Kim¡¯s American History 1
solves the problem by casting the story in vibrant
comic-book form. Starting with the ancient migrations
from 300,000 BC, this exciting edu-comic hits
all the highlights, from the Mayflower settlers
and their dealings with the Native Americans,
to the emergence of trade in furs and wood, to
the birth of a new democracy and the War of Independence
from England. In addition to the big events, American
History 1 visualizes the drama of daily life in
the great experiment that was early America. |
