Sacajawea of the Shoshone

I like the concept behind the series, and it’s got a reasonable amount of information contained in the text, but I was disappointed by the visuals in the book: besides using an over-all drab color scheme, it missed many opportunities to offer pictorial support for the text (e.g. right next to the paragraph that says she was born “near the Salmon River in Idaho” is a map that labels neither the Salmon River nor Idaho; when telling the story of load their buffalo-hide tepee onto a travois to go to the hunting grounds where she was kidnapped while picking berries with her mother, the photo on the page is of berries — a concept most students will be well-familiar with, instead of a travois). It’s adequate, but I think there’s better available.
