2.0 out of 5 stars Good historical overview, but shallow
Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2019

This book is modelled after a History of Britain. In

terms of layout, graphics and a timeline of historical era’s.. my problem with this DK book compared to the Britain History it seems to be written for a middle or high school audience. Not nearly as comprehensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Para estudiantes?
Reviewed in Spain on June 8, 2024

En el prefacio se indica que es un libro para estudiantes, niños. Evidentemente no cubre en profundidad ningún tema. Es un libro sencillo y fácil de leer para una primera aproximación a la historia de EEUU. No lo calificaría como libro para niños, quizá si para adolescentes (angloparlantes o con bien nivel de inglés).

Buen acabado y encuadernación. Llegó sin ningún desperfecto.
