Let’s Travel On (1940) – Arthur I. Gates & Jean Ayer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
https://archive.org/details/letstravelon00gate
This one’s a school book with lots of great stories and beautiful pictures. After each entry/story there are even suggested activities and questions to consider. It includes where the story came from, who wrote it, and even tells which books to find stories pertaining to the content in the story we just read. For example, if the story was about a bear who had a run in with bees, they suggest good reading materials about bees, bears, and to top it all off, it even tells the reader if it is a hard read. I’d say this book was probably written for 4th or 5th graders.
Some of the stories are true, telling about inventors and historical events. Because of this, I actually learned some things from this book.
With all these elements combined, I think a five star rating is very fair.
