Beautiful Feet NEW American history book in style of CHOW

Thanks so much for this!

Bump

I looked at the couple of sample pages on the blog. Does anyone know if there are more sample pages anywhere? I am familiar with Daugherty’s illustrations from other books, but I really felt like the text to illustrations ratio was just… wow, sensory overload (for me). Does anyone know if all the pages are like this? 

I was fortunate enough to find the original Rainbow Book of American History at a book sale last weekend.  I LOVE it!  The illustrations are awesome and I do not feel overloaded at all when looking through the book….and I’m not real into pictures, but I do like Daugherty’s work.  This is what actually drew me to the book.  There are some 2 page spreads with text only and no illustrations.  The readings are short, anywhere from 3 – 6 pages.  I would use it for a read aloud for K-3 or older depending on your range.  It could be read on your own by grades 4-6.  The retired homeschool mother of 7 that I bought it from said she used it as a read aloud spine for all ages.  She added to it for the older ones and it was just right for the younger ones.  Since I just bought it, I have not had a chance to read it yet so I won’t comment on that. 

I also agree that BF does a wonderful job with their reprints. 

Blessings,

Melissa

Site unseen, I took the risk. We are finishing Module 1 and starting Module 2 in a few short weeks; however, my daughter recently asked if we could study American History. Hopefully this will work to partially fulfill that desire while we continue our regular studies. I also purchased the D’Aulaire books to go along with this.
