Where Is Alcatraz? Paperback – Folded Map, May 24, 2016

Great book for my student who is obsessed with Alcatraz!

I used this book in my homeschool curriculum. The boys loved it. They pulled out the map and wanted to study it right away. They even did additional research by choice. Great pictures and well written. Thank you.

I picked this up for my classroom library after my students became infatuated with Alcatraz. Just about every single student has taken a turn reading it, and I overhear them discussing what they learned from it regularly. The sketches throughout the book keep reluctant or struggling readers going, as they don't feel overwhelmed by boatloads of small print. As a teacher, I love that the information provided is honest and age appropriate- no worrying about kids reading detailed accounts of Al Capone's crimes or anything like that. The whole Where Is/Who Is series is a definite nonfiction win for curious kids!

My eight year old grandson picked this book because he was very curious about Alcatraz. He loves to read historical books and this one was very informational and perfect for an eight year old!

My 12 year old son loved this book.

This whole series of books is just wonderful. Pick a topic that your child is or might be inteterested in and these books draw them right in. My son has been reading them since second grade (end of third now) and he still anxiously awaits them as I buy new. They are by far his favorite series and in my opinion so much better than the other silly/gross/obnoxious series out there.

My son has enjoyed this book very much has read it 3 times

My grandson has enjoyed this book since he prefers nonfiction.

Highly recommend these books. Easy to read yet so informative
