Derived From Web , Jun 25, 2021
Beautifully written with very well illustrated illustrations. I received this to read to my 9 and 11 year old girls, they enjoyed the nugget of VERY important history to prepare them for our upcoming Independence Day celebration and trip to Philadelphia. This was not just a story, like some review said, this is accurate history told in a way that children can understand and absorb.

Lovely intro to US Independence
Derived From Web , Jun 30, 2020
I have a 10 year old homeschooled. Though we did US history in Grades 1-3, it was mostly stories and biographies, so we are just beginning to dig deeper. Beautifully classical illustrations. Great buy for children of elementary age.

If you want your children to know the real story, not the rewritten ones, then this is the book you should buy. It is very nice for the price point and my 5.5 yo loved it absolutely!
