This book provides an overview of some early explorers that traveled to North America. It includes information about Leif Ericsson, Columbus, Vespucci, Cabot, and Lewis & Clark. I appreciated the information about Ericsson, Vespucci, and Cabot because they are often left out of explorer units. I used this book as a whole class read aloud in the beginning of our explorer unit. Students were free to re-read the book or use it as a reference during the rest of the unit. ( )
