摘要
What if you could close your eyes and open them to find you were amongst hundreds of pioneers in 1843, packing up your covered wagon to travel the 2,000 miles of the Oregon Trail? Meet twins Liz and Lenny and their unique grandmother, who, with the help of her magic hat, can transport the twins to any time in history. In their first journey, the twins spend eight months crossing the country on foot and by covered wagon, braving the mountain ranges and river valleys, battling floods and droughts, and cooking slam-johns and sowbellies over buffalo chips.
Diane Stanley's spirited, humorous, and historically accurate depiction of day-to-day life on the Oregon Trail is brought to life with Holly Berry's energetic illustrations. Overflowing with fun, informative details, and word balloons that capture each piece of dialogue, young readers will be transported into an exciting page in American history alongside the adventurous Time-Traveling Twins.

Gr 2-5-Not as comic or as busy as Joanna Cole's "Magic School Bus" tutorials (Scholastic), this initial series entry is gently informative. Twins Liz and Lenny's vacation to their grandmother's house becomes an adventure when Grandma dons her magic hat and they (along with her amusing pup, Moose) travel back to 1843 when their ancestors left Missouri and headed to Oregon on a wagon train. The siblings' narrative describing their journey is enlivened by numerous dialogue balloons and tells of their virtual months of eating bacon and beans, encountering buffalo and friendly Indians, and making sacrifices like leaving heavy heirlooms along the trail. Historical tidbits like the Panic of 1837 are mentioned and keep the story focused and useful as a curriculum supplement. Two-page spreads feature single, double, triptych, or even larger split-page groups of folksy, colored-pencil illustrations depicting prairie landscapes and stiff, simply drawn, cartoonlike pioneers and Indians. Overall, an engaging trip and a painless history lesson.-John Sigwald, Unger Memorial Library, Plainview, TX (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

This debut in the Time Traveling Twins series finds the duo on the Oregon Trail in 1843. "Stanley serves up a lively blend of fact and fiction, shoehorning in information on everything from the rigors of the terrain and weather to trail food and prairie fuel," said PW. Ages 5-10. (Aug.)

Twins Lenny and Elizabeth travel back in time with their grandmother to the Oregon Trail in 1843. The text mixes in some history with the adventure, and dialogue balloons add humor, while the cheerful pastel-colored illustrations of well-scrubbed pioneers give a whitewashed view of this arduous overland trek. Maps and an author's note clarify the historical background. From HORN BOOK Fall 2000, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Mom and Dad are off to Paris, but Grandma has a better trip in mind for Liz and Lenny. All three dress in clothes from the attic; then Grandma puts on her magic hat and takes the kids and the dog, Moose, back in time to 1843. There they join their ancestors traveling west in a covered wagon on the Oregon Trail. Stanley (A Time Apart, 1999, etc.) gives a humorous and historically accurate account, with tidbits about cooking on the trail, encounters with Native Americans, and hunting for berries and wild onions in the meadows near the Bear River. Even history buffs will find something new in this description; for example, the author describes removing the wheels from covered wagons, covering the wagon frames with buffalo hides rubbed with tallow and ashes, and floating the wagons across the river. The travelers and their dogs add their own quips and comments on the journey in conversation balloons. Berry (Market Day, 1996, etc.) provides appealing illustrations, rich in detail. The front endpapers show a map of the Oregon Trail in 1843 while the back endpapers show a map of the Oregon Trail today. An author's note explains that it stretches 2,170 miles and was traveled by over 400,000 settlers between 1840 and 1880. Young readers who have discovered The Magic School Bus will relish this adventure of "The Time-Traveling Twins," and look forward to further adventures.

Gr. 2^-4, younger for sharing. Aided by their grandmother's magic hat, twins Lenny and Liz and their grandmother travel back in time to 1843 to join a relative and her family on the Oregon Trail. The main text, narrated by one of the twins, (we never know who, which makes the book as appealing to boys as to girls) describes the experiences--seeing buffalo, fording rivers, meeting Indians on their own journey. Although the balloon dialogue makes the book hard to read aloud, it fills in background, expresses characters' feelings, and addresses things children often ask about: How do the travelers know where to go if there's no road to follow? Why did the Native Americans and settlers start killing one another? The illustrations, though very busy and rather sweet for the subject, are pleasant and colorful. Often comprising several small pictures that show different or related scenes, the artwork extends the text with details that are fairly generic, but plentiful enough to keep children entertained. The endpapers are maps of the trail, past and present. The jacket label, "The Time-Traveling Twins," seems to indicate adventures to come. --Stephanie Zvirin
