Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-2-Straightforward but lifeless presentations for beginning readers. These small-format overviews of different aspects of Colonial life present full-page, average-quality photographs opposite large-print, simple texts. One to three sentences offer a statement and/or explanation, such as "Some people were cobblers. Cobblers made shoes from leather." Finally, each book summarizes the preceding pages with a one-line statement opposite a photo collage of some of the previous pictures of modern-day enactment scenes. Each title concludes with a glossary listing no more than nine words, a guide to books and Web sites, and a short index. While children may learn some facts about the period, there are many better titles that will inspire and encourage reading.

Colonial America,
By Dr. Joan E. Aitken "author of Interpersonal C... (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fun and Games in Colonial America (Colonial America) (Paperback)
This book is geared to primary children, but might make a nice introduction for studying colonial America. The book shows games like rolling the hoop and nine pins.
