This review is from: American Girls: Map of Felicity's World (American Girls Collection Sidelines) (Map)

Readers of Felicity's World will travel 200 years back in time to a world where George III ruled much of the know world. Using colored pictures, maps, and diagrams this book helps children get a flavor for the events happening in the New World just before the American Revolution.

One of the best sections of this book was its pictures of items that children of the time period might have used. The pictures are true photographs and are accompanied by understandable explainations of the items.

Felicity's World also contains two page spreads about working hands, women, hygene, medicine, disease, and war that give children a real life understanding of the time period.

This book is is beautifully layed out and easy to read. While the publisher suggests it is suitable for children from 8 to 13, I would suggest that the information would be useful for teachers of American History at even higher levels.
