History is dramatic -- and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in this compelling series aimed at young readers.Covering American history from the founding of Jamestown through present day, these volumes explore far beyond the dates and events of a historical chronicle to present a moving illumination of the ideas, opinions, attitudes and tribulations that led to the birth of this great nation.
I have been downloading these books from Overdrive and listening to them on my tablet. I plan to listen to the whole series. The narrator is excellent and the information shared is just enough to feed the history buff in me. I have learned a whole new level of American history through these books written for children. Highly recommend the audio version!
Concise and easily understood explanations of 2 wars and the US involvement (and repercussions of both) aimed at middle school readers. Excellent history text that interprets history in a meaningful way.
