From Colonies to Country with George Washington

I discovered this book set at a homeschool library and was pleasantly surprised at the content. Each book comes with two additional booklets, one with discussion questions that include character and biblical tie-ins, and another "activity" book. The activity book shares interesting facts about the time period, sends the child on a scavenger hunt through the books to unlock a coded message, and has hands-on documents like a replica of the Declaration of Independence, a masked coded message and small postcard illustrations. The book itself is well written with bite-sized pieces of the historical events told from the viewpoint of a fictional young person. Using this book is a fun way to cover a topic quickly, and is great for a short unit of study or to summarize a longer one. It is definitely worth the price for what you get!

I like that it comes with a set. The book is also good because it tells interesting facts.
