dscholl's review against another edition
1. No awards
2. Grade 1-3
3. The Hudson River has historical, economic, environmental, and cultural significance. Hudson Talbott's book is filled with information and facts about the river, along with introductions to important historical topics such as the Age of Exploration, Erie Canal, and the Industrial Age.
4. With vivid illustrations, Hudson Talbott makes the topic of the Hudson River approachable for young children. He introduces important historical concepts, from the melting of the glaciers and actual formation of the river, to how it helped develop New York State.
5. This book is good for a connection to social studies about the Hudson River and New York State. It is also a good example of an informational text.

I must be honest. I was not really interested in finding and reading this book. What did I care about the Hudson River?
I was wrong. This is a fascinating story of a river and the life it has supported over the years, Native Americans, the Dutch, those who used its link with the Erie Canal, the railroaders, writers, artists, and, now, environmentalists.
The pictures are beautiful paintings. The author also includes diagrams and maps and timelines to help the reader better understand the story.
