These 3 books are all at the 2nd Grade reading level. Schaefer and Mara's books are still in print; Susan Alcott's book is currently available used and probably at your larger public libraries.
These books feature longer sentences and more relevant information for curious children. They'll find old photos, but also color maps and timelines to liven things up.
