5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Believe Anything Else--This Book Is Good!, August 22, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Massachusetts Colony (Thirteen Colonies (Lucent)) (Library Binding)

I COMPLETELY disagree with whoever wrote the review above. This book is very good and IS NOT BORING WHATSOEVER. Whoever wrote the other review must dislike history, which is one of the most important and underrated subjects in education today. Dennis Fradin's "Thirteen Colonies" series is not extremely in-depth, but that's expected, because it is a juvenile series! And for a juvenile series it has a lot of interesting and accurate information, as well as excellent illustrations. All major events in each colonies' history are covered, and for the book on Massachusetts, the author was at his best yet!

This review is from: The Massachusetts Colony (Thirteen Colonies (Lucent)) (Library Binding)

I found that it contained good information, but I'm afraid I dozed off more than once. I understand that a lot of effort must have been put into this piece, but i'm afraid it needs a lot of work!!!
