Coming to America: The Story of Immigration Hardcover – Illustrated, February 1, 1996

My 5 year old Grandson has set a goal to visit the "Pledge of Allegiance Lady" when his little brother is "old enough to walk all the stairs." This book further advanced that goal. Wonderful reading and very informative. It fed his young mind.

This book was part of my school's third grade ELA Unit lesson. My scholars learned so much: vocabulary, mapping, calculating, etc.

Great book for fourth-grade immigration unit.

It begins with the first people who crossed the "bridge", on to Native Americans, Colombus, etc. It gives some details about processing of immigrants at Ellis Island, nothing super detailed. There was some information presented in a one sided manner that I didn't appreciate. I rather imagine most people buying this book plan to read it aloud to their children/students so this presents the reader with the opportunity to address those issues if noticed by the reader. I wouldn't hand it off to an independent reader until you've had a chance to read it and make sure you are okay with it as with any book. I bought it because we are covering immigrants coming to America in a HOAC lap book. Another book I bought was Journey to Ellis Island:How my Father Came to America by Carol Bierman. I enthusiastically recommend it over Coming to America.

Item was sent on time and was as advertised.

Great book for entering 3rd grader. Well done.

I bought this for a unit on immigration that I was teaching. Great pictures and good text. The students learned a lot and enjoyed me reading it.

Geared for young readers and doesn't delve too deep but still informative.

Beautifully illustrated; this book depicts the story of immigration in the USA. Very good for kids who want to get some knowledge about this topic.
