Gr 3–5—Brief chapters describe when and why each region was settled by Europeans and how encounters with indigenous groups played out. There are also details that highlight the differences among the various colonies. For instance, the long growing season in the South contributed to the region's economy being driven by cash crops. On the other hand, the New England colonies utilized their diverse natural resources to create a booming mercantile economy. Phillis Wheatley provides an engaging look at this remarkable person's life. The content on each page is made up of about one-third text and two-thirds illustration, making these titles attractive to reluctant readers and visual learners alike.
