What Was the Underground Railroad? [Paperback] Yona Zeldis McDonough and Illustrated by Lauren Mortimer

My 8 year old loves these books! They are full of great information and easy to read and follow along. I enjoy reading them together and discussing the history in them!

My children read the book and learned a great deal. It’s like History written for children between the ages of 7 and 12. We order a few of these books when schools were closed - during the Corona pandemic as a way to continue their education.

Acheté pour mon fils ( 14 ans, 4eme) afin de le familiariser à la lecture en anglais. Il a bien accroché. J'apprecie que le livre ne soit pas trop long, avec des illustrations, écrit dans un anglais plutôt simple et facile à comprendre, évitant ainsi que le jeune lecteur francophone ne se décourage. Il n'est pas toujours facile de trouver des textes aussi abordables avec des thèmes capables de susciter un intérêt chez les ados. Je trouve ce livre très vbien fait et je le recommande. Je pense en acheter d'autres de la même série.

Bought for grandchildren, aged 7,9 and 10. Who all read it and we had lots of discussions about the book

My third graders love this series of books. Several of them even keep lists so they can check them off as they read them. They’re highly engaging for kiddos who are fans of nonfiction. The pictures give extra info to go along with the text. Timelines in the back of the book make it easy for readers to keep track of events in the books. Perfect for avid and reluctant readers alike!
