2.0 out of 5 stars Too much fiction, July 10, 2007

This review is from: American Pioneers and Patriots, Second Edition (Hardcover)

I love the concept of historical fiction, but this book has a little too much fiction. For each section, there is a fictional story, using fictional characters, set in a specific time period/event. This book focuses too much on the fictional accounts. It didn't hold my kids' attention. Telling the real stories of what happened, in a winsome way, would be more interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful historical fiction for kids..., August 26, 2011

This book was a favorite to my boys when I first read it to them at 5 & 6. It's now a favorite of my daughters at ages 5 & 7. My boys, now older at 10 & 11 are all too willing to listen in and even when I tell them to start their own work, I will see their ears perked up to listen. While reading on of the stories this morning, my son said "Mom, I remember that story and how he used his knife to save the day. It was a favorite of mine!". I love books that evoke feelings of your childhood just at the thought of it (Stuart Little does it for me, as does A Little Princess).

It's a fun way to introduce your children to the historical time period of the start of America. When read with enthusiasm, I can't imagine any child not being interested.

5.0 out of 5 stars We both loved it., May 20, 2011

I read this to my 1st grader and we really enjoyed it. Will definately use it for our younger child when she is old enough. The stories are usually told from a child's perspective and it really held our interest.
