This is a gorgeous book. Minor's art is gritty like the sand of the desert the book is based on, and Siebert speaks as though the desert as an entity is a poet writing about jack rabbits, ravens, burros, mustangs, rocks, and so on. It's a great, cohesive theme, and the words and illustrations fit together.

From Sea to Shining sea this book takes you on a creative and informative journey through America. Through the book is a impressive blend of poetry, geography, art and history. While not every state is represented there is a good representation of different places both old and new that will help students learn and appreciate some unique beauty found in the U.S. There are some well-known destinations like Niagara Falls in New York and the Golden Gate Bridge in California there are some unique things like Lusy the Elephant in Margate, New Jersey and Bristlecone Pines in Nevada. This book offers a unique way to learn more about places in America thought the creative poetry in this book. One example I love is Mount Washington, New Hampshire where the author and illustrator paint a vivid picture of the power and beauty of the highest peak in the Northeastern United States and is known for its dramatic weather. This book offers a wonderful blend of poetry and art to bring the reader on an adventurous journey through many destinations in America.… (mais)

I would use this book as an independent read in 4th grade because the sentences are long and complex for students to read. Students could use the pictures to guide their reading to use as context clues.
