Charming tale for the youngest history fans
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a charming, easy-to-read account of one young girl's encounter with the American Revolution. All my children loved it - even the ones for whom it was too "young"! A well-told tale based on an actual event. This is a great story for putting your kids "in the shoes" of those who lived during the founding of our country.
Compelling historical drama for young children
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I think this is the only book we've ever found in the Beginning Reader section that deals with a real, historical subject. My daughter read it to herself and loved it. I also read through it and found it to be a fascinating children's book.
