A Picture Book of Sacagawea (Picture Book Biography)

Very interesting for 4-6 yr olds

Our family just returned from a trip to Salmon, Idaho and I wanted a book for the grandkiddos (all under age five) and the picture book was perfect.

This book was a biography of Sacagawea. It begins with her birth in 1788 or 1789 on the western part of the Rocky Mountains. It goes on to her capture by the Hidatsa warriors and her marriage to Toussaint Carbonneau. The biography also covers significant events that occurred during the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I liked how this book gave more insight into Sacagawea's life as well as the Lewis and Clark expedition. There was much information and details that I did not know before. It also included great illustrations. Overall, I thought it was a great book.

Informative book

There was very little information about sacagawea in this book.

This is a great book that will give students an insight into the life of Sacagawea. It details her time with Lewis and Clark. It also gives students an idea of what life was like for explorers traveling west in the early 19th century.

The illustrations in this book convey a great deal of the context and emotion. They are very well done and they do more than half the work of the storytelling. Great illustrations of the Shoshone village and Fort Mandan.The book is good information, and it's easy reading. We are using it for our summer home school unit on Lewis and Clark. This is not a thrilling book, but it's good.
