Reviews and Comments

"...teachers have been perplexed in how to teach history without losing student interest. There is an inherent boredom to the memorization of names and dates. The task is to make learning fun .... This book is filled with eighteen different types of activities in its forty pages. No matter what learning style students may have, there are probably activities for them .... This is his sixth success at teaching overland trails history to children.... The beauty of this book ties in its expandability. Any good teacher can start with these eighteen activities .... Each activity suggests others. Kids-I suggest you recommend this book to your teacher."- Folio

 

"I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for an exciting book "West with Lewis and Clark….I have a …son who loves maps and history if presented in a multi-sensory manner. Your activity book has been a wonderful addition and has made our family time very meaningful…. (Our son) has loved every dot to dot, maze, and coloring page. We have even made the hardtack! Both children played "Skip to my Lou" on their recorders. What fun! The book has been a hit with my …daughter and my …son. (I am having a tremendous time too.)" J.S.
