Playful Pocahontas Seeks Peace, June 5, 2002
This review is from: DK Readers: The Story of Pocahontas (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback)
This book is sure to capture a young child's interest. The life of Pocahontas is beautifully illustrated with art and full-color photographs. This is an easy-to-read story for children who are beginning to read alone. It will help your child develop their reading skills, general knowledge and love of reading.
In Level Two: There are information boxes filled with fun facts, an index and longer sentences with increased vocabulary.
So, what did I learn?
That Pocahontas was given the English name Rebecca!
Pocahontas is a nickname that means "playful" and her real name was Matoaka
What children might not enjoy learning?
That she didn't marry John Smith, yet there is a surprise ending.
Children will learn that Pocahontas helped encouraged peace between the settlers and Indians and that a statue now stands in Gravesend, England where Pocahontas is buried.
