What You Didn't Know About History: Set 1
What You Didn't Know About History
Young readers often learn about early America in their classrooms. Many have heard of pioneers building log cabins--but few realize frontier settlers lived in shacks that let in wind, rain, and cold for the first months on their homestead. This series augments common knowledge with surprising, lesser known facts and detailed photographs, inviting readers to take a unique and informative journey to the colonies, the Wild West, and more. Readers will be absorbed on their bumpy ride on the wagon train, whether they are learning about early America for the first time or are eager to know more.

Series Review: What You Didnt Know About History
More earnest than the You Wouldnt Want To series (Scholastic), and for a slightly younger audience, this set provides compelling details about day-to-day life in various American epochs. The simple design makes the books appealing to young readers. The accessible writing is straightforward and succinct. All in all, a first-rate series for budding historians.
