Tales of Famous Americans


Tales of Famous Americans by Connie and Peter Roop

I think that this book is a great introduction to some of the people in our history that built, changed and challenged us all as a nation. These stories begin with things that kids can connect with and understand such as where they grew up and their childhood. Then they can learn more as they read about the accomplishments and stories behind such people as Pocahontas and Harriet Tubman to Helen Keller and Mia Hamm. I think this is a great resource to any classroom as many children have heard about these people within the pages but may not know why or who they really are. With dates and pictures that help you learn, i really liked this book myself.
