Follow the Dream: The Story of Christopher Columbus
Follow the Dream: The Story of Christopher Columbus
Written and Illustrated by: Peter Sis
Easy Readability
"The 15th century comes vividly alive in this splendidly original picture book about Christopher Columbus. The straightforward text combines documented fact and legend, while the pictures show Columbus' gradual emergence from a fortress of medieval belief as he begins to realize his dream of finding a new route to the Orient."
