(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt. This book presents highlights of American history (the Gold Rush, the Civil War, FDR's New Deal) as witnessed by Uncle Sam. The folksy, repetitive, generally upbeat text becomes grating. However, Hewitt's mixed-media collage, oil paint, and clip art illustrations, which incorporate postage stamps, state flags, archival images, and caricatures, are visually stimulating. An index of famous Americans and author's note are appended.
