 * __Coming to America: The Story of Immigration__** - by Betsy Maestro

**__Coming to America: The Story of Immigration__** - by Betsy Maestro //Coming to America:// //The Story of Immigration// is a non-fiction text that explores the history of immigration to the United States. It is a good introduction to immigration as a general topic, and helps to build background knowledge through expressive illustrations and simple vocabulary. New words are explained in the book, which reads in a story type manner. Almost the entire second half of the book focuses on Ellis Island after building the reader’s background knowledge of immigration. //Ellis Island, A True Book// is a colorful, factual book about Ellis Island. It is an interactive read, with questions that make the reader want to know the answer and to search for them inside the book. It is appropriate for second grade and up, with large text and vocabulary words in bold and a glossary at the back. Divided into chapters, the book covers things such as the immigrants and who they were and why they came, the difficult trip, steerage class and first class, reaching Ellis Island, and leaving Ellis Island. Personal accounts from Ellis Island immigrants are included. //Ellis Island, A True book// is a non-fiction text designed for younger readers and is also appropriate for second grade and up. This true book is not as detailed as the first, and does not use bold words. Although this book covers much of the same things, it does not go into the amount of details the other True Book did, and would therefore be good for readers who are still developing. This book covers the history of Ellis island and when it opened, the first immigrant on Ellis Island, medical inspections, life on Ellis Island, and Ellis Island today. //…If Your Name was Changed at Ellis Island// is a detailed chapter picture book about Ellis Island. It goes into more detail about things such as what Ellis Island was, what people brought with them, how long the trip look, what people did all day, who examined you at Ellis Island, what kinds of mental tests were given, and where people would eat, sleep, and much more! This book would be appropriate for the advanced student wanting to know and understand more about Ellis Island and perhaps even use as research for a project. //The Memory Coat// is a fictional story about a family immigrating to Ellis Island. Two cousins, Rachel and Grisha, are immigrating with their family to the United States. Grisha’s mother died a year earlier and the last thing she made him was a coat of colorful wool on the inside. Grisha’s family want him to get a new coat to impress the inspectors at Ellis Island, but he refuses as it is the last thing his mother did for him, and Rachel defends his coat. On the voyage to the United States, Grisha falls and gets a scratch above his eye. During medical inspection, the doctor was in a big hurry and marked Grisha’s eye as diseased. Thinking quickly, Rachel turned Grisha’s coat inside out to reveal the colorful wool underneath and got him in line for another doctor who was more patient and could see that Grisha had only a scratch on his eye. This book would be great for a read aloud and to help students understand that the people who immigrated through Ellis Island were real people just like them.
