Cartoon History of the United States

Would you like to give your teenager an overview of the History of the United States? Would you like to give them a book to read about this subject that they might actually READ and understand? I suggest you invest in the delightful "Cartoon History of the United States" by Larry Gonick.

Actually, I recommend any of the Cartoon History books by Larry Gonick.

I might not agree with absolutely every tiny viewpoint of Mr. Gonick, but I certainly agree with his tactics for communicating the generally agreed upon version of history in a way that it can be digested and remembered.

These are humorous cartoons (sometimes a tiny bit R rated - breasts and blood) that are delightful and understandable.
