Barbara Frietchie,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barbara Frietchie (Hardcover)
Parker's intriguing illustrations along with Whittier's historical poetry brought the story of the fictional character Barbara Frietchie to life. Set during the time of the Civil War, old Barbara Frietchie dares to stand up against Confederate troops (General Stonewall Jackson) and waves a Union flag. Various notes at the end provide readers with greater insight on historical aspects as seen through the poem. Parker's maps, setting and illustrations grasp the attention of the reader. This is a wonderful book for young readers who are interested in learning about the Civil War. I recommend this book for children ages 9 and above.
