Lewis and Clark for Kids: Their Journey of Discovery
- The only children's Lewis & Clark book recommended by Boys' Life magazine.
- Chosen by the state of Missouri as the recommended text to teach students about the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
- “Lewis and Clark for Kids is a great book! The story of the Corps of Discovery's expedition is one of adventure, derring-do and achievement. Herbert's text is smooth and comprehensive, but it's the activities she's included that make this book an ideal choice for home-schooled students or as a gift for the classroom. There's even a recipe for Great Plains stew (supposedly, it tastes just as good without the buffalo).” — Knight Ridder Newspapers
- “The best children's book on the Expedition.” — Oregon Statesman Journal
- One of Chicago Tribune’s “100 Great Books for Young People.”
- “A fine book with an appealing format and a profusion of intriguing sidebars. Teachers will welcome the suggested activities, glossary of terms, and list of helpful web sites.” — Kliatt
- “Herbert's hands-on activities and compelling text will help kids share in the discoveries of Lewis and Clark throughout their three-year journey across North America.” — Kids Magazine
- “The Lewis and Clark expedition was not only one of America’s greatest adventures, it was one of our nation’s greatest leaps in learning. Geography, ethnology, zoology, botany, and literature—the Corps of Discovery made important contributions to them all. This book invites readers to join Lewis and Clark’s epic journey and helps them make their own discoveries along the way.” — Dayton Duncan, author of Out West: American, Journey Along the Lewis and Clark Trail
- “This is no connect-the-dots amusement book. The activities are meaningful—latitude and longitude exercises; preserving plants; drying fruit for the trail; Native American dance, instruments, and regalia; trail signs; and sign language. The book’s real strength is a comprehensive text thoroughly illustrated with artwork and photographs. This is a fine resource that can be revisited with a youngster either at home or on the trail.” — Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation
- Another marvelous learning-through-activity book. Just like Lewis and Clark’s expedition—one of our nation’s greatest leaps in learning—this book helps children 9 and up make their own discoveries.” — Copley News Service
- “This is just about the best book on the subject for young children. Come to think of it, many adults will have fun with this wonderful book.” — Statesman Journal
- “A thorough and interesting capsule for young readers.” — OC Family
- “Packed with high drama of exploration into the unknown, Lewis and Clark for Kids will hold students spellbound. Herbert’s account, based on primary sources, captures the thrills, dangers, and awe-inspiring experiences of those who made up the Corps of Discovery.” — InfoTech, Public Schools of North Carolina
- “A great book. Herbert’s text is smooth and comprehensive, but it’s the activities she’s included that make this book an ideal choice for home-schooled students or as a gift for the classroom.” — Santa Barbara News-Press
- “Those who can’t visit the locations [along the Lewis and Clark trail] can still participate in the expeditions national bicentennial with 21 activities in Lewis and Clark for Kids.” — Scouting
