Great Teaching Tool

We enjoyed the way this book took us on a journey through time. "Mark Twain and the Queens of the Mississippi" carried us from the village of Cahokia to our modern time. We were intrigued by the historical details given in the form of graphs, charts, diagrams, and factual information. Harness vividly outlined the advances in our technology. We liked the realistic descriptions given in the book. The detailed descriptions did tend to slow down the reader's attention at times. It was rather emotional reading about tragedies that have happened in our countries history. These events may be disturbing to some readers. The pictures in the book were realistic, artistic, breathtaking, disturbing, and colorful. The artwork contributed powerful meaning to the story. The illustrations helped readers understand the details and language of the story. We recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the Mississippi River, steamboats, or Mark Twain. Mrs. Scott's 7th period sixth grade reading class rates this book with 4 stars. Please read this book and enjoy the wonderful illustrations.
