And Then What Happened, Paul Revere? by Jean Fritz

And Then What Happened, Paul Revere? (Paperstar) by Jean Fritz. Includes timeline and map and bibliography.Ĥ. The younger kids’ attention sort of drifted but Bella was riveted. This was aimed at a slightly older student. The illustrations by Peter Malone are beautiful. I like the way Freedman tells stories of several individuals who participated in the Tea Party including direct quotes and source notes. The Boston Tea Party by Russell Freedman. A nice overview of the history of the Revolution that gives a balanced look at the motivations of both sides.ģ. The format is compare and contrast between King George III and George Washington. This book is more detailed than the Jean Fritz book and written for a slightly older audience. George: The American Revolution As Seen from Both Sides by Rosalyn Schanzer. I like having resources that gently guide children to considering alternate viewpoints and seeing there can be understandable motives and likable people on both sides of a conflict. The tone is humorous, the pictures by Tomie de Paola match it perfectly. Tells the story of King George III from childhood with an emphasis of course on the American Revolution. Can’t You Make Them Behave, King George? by Jean Fritz.
