Susan did an excellent job of including key vocabulary to aid in comprehension. The book also incorporates an abundance of text features to help with discussion topics and overall knowledge of the Civil War." <strong>--Crystal Spearman, ELA and social studies instructional coach</strong></p> <p/><p>"This book for young readers gives an engaging lesson that will help children understand an important moment in the history of the United States. The timelines, illustrations, and maps help readers to better understand the events. The book goes beyond a mere history lesson by asking readers to think about what they would do in situations that relate to the Civil War. I also appreciate how the book illustrates that history affects people's lives in the modern era. Children will realize that knowledge of history is not a set of dreary dates and events, but vital to understanding our lives today." <strong>--Carla Fountain, educator</strong></p> <p/><p>"<em>The History of the Civil War</em> is expertly written; just the right details to clearly explain to the young reader the background and dilemmas of this very divisive war.

I would definitely recommend this book." <strong>--Nena Chudnof, teacher</strong></p><br>
