Review by Horn Book Review

This text includes information about the social factors that led to the building of the first amusement parks and descriptions of famous parks across America and around the world. The author includes many interesting, child-friendly facts, but the writing is often mediocre. Production is also sloppy, with photographs that are not in focus and captions that are not always informative. Bib., glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
