What Parents Need to Know
About Anno's U.S.A.
Parents need to know that this is a selective visual history of the United States, full of cunning and humor, with each two-page spread capable of sparking an extended discussion on the pictured locale. The horse rider's journey is depicted in stunning, playful, pen-and-wash detail. There are no words, so participation in a read-aloud is critical. Finding recognizable images is as fun as a treasure hunt.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the locations and times depicted throughout the book. Explore each spread, talking about the place and time and searching for anachronisms. The book is an excellent jumping-off point for exploring people, places, and events in America's history.
