Who Discovered America? by Valeria Wyatt - ADVISABLE

Who Discovered America? Valerie Wyatt. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Kids Can Press, 2008.

EL – ADVISABLE

Wyatt explores the many people and groups who all had a hand in the ‘discovery’ of the Americas: Columbus, Corte-Real, the Chinese, the Vikings, the Norse. It also looks into the peoples who were already in the Americas when they were ‘discovered’. The book is succinct, yet informative, including maps, paintings, photos and illustrations. And a handy timeline in the back directs you to the pages that tell about the different ‘discoverers’. It’s a good beginning level look at this interesting discussion.
