This book has great images! While it does give a present a story like version of historical events, mentions conflict here and there; I do not think it is entirely factual. It focuses a lot on the Native Americans as they were a major part of the Louisiana Purchase, however while it does show that there were conflicts it doesn't necessarily explain how or if they were resolved. It just shows they had disagreements then were fine. This might be a little confusing to the students if they were to actually think about the events. ( )

This is a National Geographic book, that was inspired by the actual journals and letters written by Lewis and Clark. I wasn't particularly fond of it, but my students enjoyed it. ( )

An illustrated and informational, nonfiction account of Lewis and Clark's adventure west

This book is great for a 4th grader learning about the travels of Lewis and Clark. Instead of just reading about the details, there are pictures, fun facts, illustrations, timelines and maps to captivate the reader.
