In 1492

This was a short and sweet summary of Columbus' voyage to the New World. And it rhymes! Although not much detail is given, this is such a great way to teach younger elementary students about this story. The pictures are sweet as well.

This is a simple text that ends too soon, but retells the traditional poem that everyone knows or was taught in school about Christopher Columbus. There is a foreword titled background facts that doe a brief yet concise job of sharing some important facts about Columbus, though it leaves out a lot of the more interesting details of his life. Thiss would work as an introductory text to who the guy was, but could use some serious supplemental information to flesh out the actual guy.

Loved this book. It tells the story of Christopher Columbus in a very simple manner. The story rhymes the entire way through, which is exciting for the reader. The illustrations are water color and help tell the story. I also like that fact that the book offers the reader background information about Columbus at the beginning of the book. I would highly recommend this book, especially to elementary teachers for their classroom.

This book is written for second graders but you could also read it to your kindergarten or first grade students. It would be a great one to read on Columbus Day. It talks about dreams coming true while using a rhyme scheme.

I remember this book from either first or second grade and I loved it. I did a project on it as well. It is a relitively short rhyming book, but gives you the story of Christopher Colombus and his adventure accidentially stumbling on the Bahamas instead of India.

This is a great book to read on Columbus Day. I read this to my first grade class and they really enjoyed. This book tells the story about Christopher Columbus and what he did in 1492. The book shares the story in a way that little children can understand what is happening. The pictures in this book are also really good in this book.

This story tells children the story about Christopher Columbus and his exploration in an easy way for young students to understand.
