Happy Birthday Revolutionary War,
By Peanutbudder (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Happy Birthday, Felicity! A Springtime Story, 1774 (The American Girls Collection, Book 4) (Paperback)
"Happy Birthday, Felicity" was an awesome book. In it Felicity finds something will happen to start the Revolutionary War. It's Felicity's birthday month. Felicity is very happy. She has a new lamb (Posie), a new guitar and her Grandfather is visiting. Then something awful happens. Felicity has to find a way to sound an alarm, or else Williamsburg will never be the same. This book is the best book in the Felicity Series.

Happy Birthday, Felicity!: A Springtime Story,
By Amy Paul (Urbana, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Happy Birthday, Felicity! A Springtime Story, 1774 (The American Girls Collection, Book 4) (Paperback)
This is a charming story that really brings to life the time period of the 1770's. My daughter(6 years old) was fascinated by all the books in the Felicity series, but really identified with the birthday story. She now realizes that kids are kids, no matter when they grow up, but she also has become fascinated with historical Williamsburg. As a teacher, I am able to see the value of connecting history to a child's life with these books. I highly recommend reading these!

A great Felicity book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Happy Birthday, Felicity! A Springtime Story, 1774 (The American Girls Collection, Book 4) (Paperback)
Happy Birthday, Felicity! is one of the best American Girl books. Felicity is turning ten years old, and Grandfather has come to visit. He gives her Grandmother's guitar, but when she is told not to take it out of the house, she disobeys her parents and Grandfather. They are so angry at her that they refuse to believe Felicity when she tells them of a message she overheard that means danger for Williamsburg! I'll let the rest be a surprise, but don't worry, the book has a happy ending.
