This is a great historical children's book on the story of Mount Rushmore. It describes how Mount Rushmore was designed, how the presidents were chosen and includes beautiful artwork. It also talks about the process of Mount Rushmore how it first had be blasted with the use of dynamite, who were called the Powder men and then being designed and carved by stone carvers.

I gave this book 5/5 stars. I love this book and actually purchased this when I visited Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore is extremely fascinating and a beautiful work of art. It is so crazy to think that all 4 of those faces were carved. Children will love this book and will definitely spark curiosity as many children probably don't even know it exists.

This is a book of mini-biographies about the people, Presidents and tradesmen who worked to create the Mount Rushmore National monument. This is a very good educational history book for young children. We read this book after we returned from Mount Rushmore and I think the content was better received after having seen the monument in person.

I purchased this for my granddaughter who wants to visit Mt. Rushmore. We have a trip planned for the summer and I wanted her to have foundation of what she is about to visit. This book does that beautifully.

This book tells the story of how the monument on Mt. Rushmore was built and why it was built.

This book is written in parts that explains many different aspects of Mt. Rushmore. The main body of text people introducing themselves and how they were involved in the monument. For each character there is a panel of facts about that person or process. This was interesting because the things about the people are easy to read because if feels more like narrative text. The third section of a book goes back to the pictures of the Presidents that were in the book. Then the authors showed things in the offices that depict things about the people in the pictures and the time period they lived in. The three sections in this book give different bits of information but it is all tied into the creation of the monument on Mt. Rushmore.

We purchased this book last year when we visited Mount Rushmore. It is a great story to share as you learn so many things about Mount Rushmore in reading it. You learn about Doane Robinson and how it was his idea to carve heroes on a mountain. It's interesting to read about what heroes he wanted included! You also learn about Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor who took on the project and changed the design to include the presidents on the mountain today. We also learn why each president was selected b We purchased this book last year when we visited Mount Rushmore.

In addition to these more famous people, you learn about those workers who had the job of actually creating the faces by drilling and carving. Very interesting read. ...more

37 months - Picked this up in the gift shop at Mount Rushmore as O spotted it and wanted me to read it to her right there on the spot. All the copies were sealed so we took a chance and bought a copy without seeing inside, this is something I NEVER do. Turned out to be a nice choice. Great illustrations an simple explanations. We will revisit this book to remember our trip often I'm sure. 37 months - Picked this up in the gift shop at Mount Rushmore as O spotted it and wanted me to read it to her right there on the spot.
