Informative and interesting. Gets kids attention with a great story and follows up with informative research guide. These books are a great way to get kids hooked on non-fiction in an exciting way.

Give your smart little kiddos a jump-start on their American History. This is a terrific series to introduce them to historical topics that will be covered in the later grades.

This book has been a significant tool in adapting the seventh grade Social Studies curriculum (American History) for my two inclusion students with autism who read on a second to third grade reading level. The text is interesting and gets to the basic causes and results of the American Revolution. The illustrations help to provide some concrete visual aids. I also had these students read Revolution on Wednesday for their independent reading in English to further familiarize them with the story of the Revolution and the terminology involved. As a result, my students now have a rudimentary understanding of the American Revolution. I look for more of these wonderful research guides. We will be using the Civil War books when we get to that part of the curriculum.
