One of my reading books over the summer was Into the Unknown: How Great Explorers Found Their Way by Land, Sea, and Air, written by Stewart Ross and illustrated by Steven Biesty. I thought the illustrations in this book were fantastic. At the end of every chapter there is a fold out that includes diagrams maps and pictures. There are also more pictures throughout each chapter. One thing I didn't like about the book is that the stories were short and you were sometimes thrust into them. For example, The story of columbus and Magellan were combined into one chapter. This made it not an enjoyable chapter because it was very short. I thought the ending was really good. I think it really portrayed the main idea of the book. The book had 14 different explorers journeys. It tells where they went and how they got there. I thought it was a very good book.
