Children's Literature Review
This combination history and activity book from the "Build it Yourself" series will enliven home school and classroom history units. . . Mooney's narrative is engaging and very readable. Sidebars and text boxes contain difficult words (also highlighted with bold font within the text), interesting facts, or mini-biographies of explorers or native communities. The hands-on activities are well suited for extending learning opportunities outside of the classroom. A resource page listing books and websites provides more information for curious students."
Eclectic Homeschool Online (EHO)
"Explorers of the New World is one in a series of books that encourage students to interact with the subject being learned. There are 22 hands-on projects, but that's not all. The author presents factual information in a breezy, conversational style, emphasizing relevant vocabulary by bolding new words in the context of the text, and then defining them in a set-off box ("Words to Know") on the same or a facing page. There are also "Did You Know" boxes at frequent intervals, containing snippets of interesting trivia. . Explorers of the New World is well suited to the homeschool as well as classroom use. It would work well as the basis for a co-op class learning about this era of history. The activity instructions are clearly written, with illustrations that help you to follow the directions."
School Library Journal—Gr 3-7
"This informative, entertaining activity book takes readers on a fascinating voyage of their own. . . Numerous inserts, “Did You Know?” sidebars, maps, black-and-white representations of explorers, and sketches of events add additional facts and interest to the presentation. Nearly every page includes a brief list of words to know. Each chapter concludes with “Make Your Own” activities that bring life to the history with instructions for the construction of a logbook, clay activities, recipes, games, etc. Some may require the assistance of an adult but are not complicated or time-consuming. An appealing and useful resource."
Peter C. Mancall Chair, Department of History, Professor of History and Anthropology Director, USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute University of Southern California
"Building things associated with exploration is a fantastic way of making these efforts more, which are so far from the way we think about the world today, comprehensible, and not only for young readers."
