Sarah Morton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Girl

the pictures were great the whole book was well written

Children will be fascinated by the numerous photos that show a young girl dressed in period costume for the Plimoth Plantation at Plymouth, Massachusetts. The year is always 1627 there, with the date todays. Seven years have passed since the first settlers have arrived at the settlement... Sarah Morton was a real child. Actors interpret the characters from the history of that time. It is very interesting.

I am a Kindergarten teacher and this is a great book to read to them. It has excellent pictures. The words can be difficult for Kindergarteners to understand, however, with a little preparation, they will grasp the concept of the book. This book shows the daily lives of a Pilgrim girl. Samuel Eaton's Day compliments this book.

We originally bought this book at Plimoth Village. My children love it. Having photos of people in actual period dress makes it so much easier to understand that they were real people and they lived differently from us. I share our copy of the book with my children's teachers every fall and they all love it and beg for our copy. Tonight, I'm buying them their own!

Live photos. Great story. The notes in the back on history of the Plimoth Plantation and who Sarah Norton really are cool. Sarah Morton was really a girl who lived in a house with dirt floor in 1627. There's even a glossary in the back.
