This is a simple text that ends too soon, but retells the traditional poem that everyone knows or was taught in school about Christopher Columbus. There is a foreword titled background facts that doe a brief yet concise job of sharing some important facts about Columbus, though it leaves out a lot of the more interesting details of his life. Thiss would work as an introductory text to who the guy was, but could use some serious supplemental information to flesh out the actual guy.
A fun rhyming book to read to young children to show appreciation for Columbus Day. Students will learn the names of the three ships, what the sailors were searching for, how many sailors were with Columbus, and what he found when he got to America, all in this short read.
I like that this book told the truth about Columbus landing in Hawaii. The illustrations are colorful and makes a wonderful picture book for children.
Great book to read when talking about Christopher Columbus. It gives just a little information so it would be better for younger grades.
A poetic book which includes facts, beautiful illustrations, and rhyming words.
Columbus, picture book, simple text Columbus Day
A cute rhyming book with appealing pictures for young children teaching them about Columbus Day.
