This is a fun approach to history. Covering roughly a 150 year stretch of time and topics like the Revolutionary War, California Gold Rush, Transcontinental Railway and the formation of the American Red Cross, "On An American Day Volume 1", tells each story from a child's perspective and then follows up with historical facts. This is marketed for ages 9 and up but I found that even my 7 year old enjoyed sitting through the fictional parts.
Good Points
A book that can be enjoyed by all ages.
