ALA Booklist (Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2018)

I have eight titles and teach youngsters about historic landmarks . . . What am I? The new American Place Puzzlers series, of course! In these guessing-game-style installments, each flip of the page introduces a declarative one- or two-sentence clue and a corresponding double-page photo (complete with sneaky puzzle-piece-shaped gaps). Although the penultimate spread reveals the mystery location, concluding "Fast Facts" and "Where Am I?" pages offer comprehensive statistics, including historical context, maps, measurements, and one extra-compelling "Cool Fact." Historic and Lively showcases the most obscure destination of the bunch, Colonial Williamsburg. Though Williamsburg was founded in 1632, this land of cannons and horse-drawn carriages first opened as a tourist destination in 1932. Though back matter is often more informative than the preceding clues, each book's simple sentences, engaging layout, and mystery-infused approach will have beginning readers and budding history buffs raring to crack the case.
