Biographies of famous people will give you a head start in history. The Landmark books give plenty of detail about the early days of our country. If you prefer lots of pictures, look for Columbus by the d Aulaires, and Where Do You Think You re Going, Christopher Columbus and Around the World in a Hundred Years: from Henry the Navigator to Magellan by Jean Fritz. Another book for all ages about Columbus is Fiona Macdonald s You Wouldn t Want to Sail With Christopher Columbus! Many books were written for the 500th anniversary of his first voyage: I, Columbus: My Journal by Peter and Connie Roop, Follow the Dream by Peter Sis, and The Discovery of the Americas by Betsy and Giulio Maestro. (The latter book also has an activity book to go with it.) Of course, Columbus is only one of many explorers you ll be discussing. Ask the librarian what is available on the Vikings, Prince Henry the Navigator, Magellan, and Sir Francis Drake. The Maestros book Exploration and Conquest: the Americas after Columbus is one place to start. Your social studies unit begins with Native Americans. The librarian can direct you to the books about various tribes and individuals. Don t forget the beautiful picture books of myths and legends about Raven and Coyote; Paul Goble; Gerald McDermott, and Tomi DePaola have also done some fine work in this area. If you have not read Johanna Hurwitz s Aldo Applesauce series check them out! The Blossom family books by Betsy Byars are also funny; the first one is The Not-Just-Anybody Family. The sequels all have the family name Blossom somewhere in the title.
