Description: Another title in the ALL ABOUT AMERICAN SYMBOLS series, MOUNT RUSHMORE lets new readers practice their reading. Stunning photos of Mount Rushmore, even during its construction, enhance the simple text.
Review Quotes: All About American Symbols series. This series for pre-readers introduces, in the broadest possible terms, various iconic American symbols. Each double-page spread features one or two short sentences ("A man cut the faces in the stone") and a large, engaging photo. The repetitious text is so vague it's sometimes confusing; children may glean a few tidbits about each monument/symbol from these small, square books. Reading list, websites.
