Westward Ho!

Product Details
We finished reading a great book called, Streams to the River, River to the Sea by Scott O'dell as a part of our American westward travels in history. The kids learned facts about Lewis and Clark as well as Sacagawea through this historical fiction book. O'dell captured our attention from the first, and we couldn't wait to find out how this book would end. While I choose this read aloud for my older children, even Chloe can narrate quite a few facts about Sacagawea! We will remember the adventures in this book for a long time to come.
