Grade 5-8–Published in Britain, these books examine their topics as part of British history, but include some information about the United States. Each one provides objectively written background, an overview, and discussion of the topic's lasting impact. Source sidebars excerpt primary-source documents or analyze period illustrations, maps, editorial cartoons, and photos. Additional photos supplement the texts. The series' British focus will narrow its American audience, making it an additional choice for libraries that need materials written from an international perspective. (c) Copyright 2010.
