This book talks about not only Columbus’s travels to America, but also how he was motivated to explore the seas from a very young age. In the end Weinberger writes that even though he made a mistake in calling the Americas India, we still honor him. This is a good point for elementary students because they need to know it’s ok to make mistakes; we learn and grow from them. It also shows them that if they really dedicate themselves to something, they can do it.

this is all about christopher columbus and it is boring ( )
