Book Reviews of The Lewis & Clark Expedition: Join the Corps of Discovery to Explore Uncharted Territory (Kaleidoscope Kids Book)
Book Review: The basis of our home school unit on Lewis and Clark
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to putting kids in the driver's seat for learning, Kaleidoscope Kids books are truly great. It's the activities that do the job. I'm raising only boys, and certainly they are good readers, but they are wild about DOing.
This book has them learning about surveying and dead reckoning, building keelboats and bull boats, creating an earth lodge and a tipi, making a dugout canoe, stitching moccasins from grocery bags, learning the rudiments of Shoshone sign language, and imagining some of the ethical and leadership challenges the L&C expedition faced. **I added some photos from my second-grader's Mandan earthlodge.**
Most of the activities can be done with NO HELP from mom -- very important! An exception would be building the boat, which requires quite a bit of balsa wood to be cut and shaped. But don't miss the opportunity to make the boats -- doing them together makes it even more fun. Older kids get even more from the book than younger ones do -- our family ranges from kindergarten up.

Summary of The Lewis & Clark Expedition: Join the Corps of Discovery to Explore Uncharted Territory (Kaleidoscope Kids Book)
This book focuses on the history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and also provides some crafts, activities, and open-ended questions for discussion. The text describes the main players in the adventure as well as several of the other members of the company and then follows their journey from St Louis to the Pacific and back. Excerpts from the explorers' journals bring their voices into the story. Printed in two colours, with many cartoons as well as maps, drawings, photographs, and reproductions of period illustrations, the broad pages have an accessible look. Activities include making a model of a keelboat from balsa wood, measuring a zigzag course by dead reckoning, and building a miniature Mandan earth lodge from sticks, clay, and grass. Ages 4 to 6 years.Exploration & Discovery Books
