Horn Book Review

This formulaic book offers little substance, emphasizing extraneous topics over more pertinent information. While archival photographs and suggested activities (e.g., "send Morse code messages," "playing hoops") enhance the book, choppy and overgeneralized writing contributes to an unsatisfying and sometimes confusing read. A list of resources is appended. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
