An excellent read - my kids BEGGED to do History!,
By Michelle W. (Appleton, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stories of the Pilgrims (Paperback)
We read this book as a part of our homeschool History curriculum this year. It was very informative and entertaining. My children (ages 6 and 8) absolutely loved it. We have the older version, and my kids didn't even mind the lack of color and the sparse illustrations. They begged me ,"One more chapter...please, Mom?!"
I would say the only thing I did not care for in this book was the way they portray the Indians. Other than Squanto, Samoset and Massasoit, all of the other Indians are viewed as 'savages' (and not very intelligent ones, at that.) In the last few chapters, they are even used as 'comic relief.' She also has them speaking the word 'Ugh' a lot...such as "Ugh! White squaw bring me cider!" I thought that was a little unrealistic, and insulting as well. The information on the Pilgrims is wonderful, and she really brought their journey alive. If you can overlook the Indian parts, I would highly recommend this book.

Classic Stories As They Were Originally Penned,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stories of the Pilgrims (Yesterday's Classics) (Paperback)
I purchased a copy of this book from Christian Liberty Press to use with our Beautiful Feet American History. Upon opening the book I was devistated to find the stories had been "rewritten/sanitized" to make them politically correct/less offensive and to fit the theology of the Reformed Church/Christian Liberty School.
Thank goodness Lisa Ripperton and her staff at Yesterday's Classics are in business! The title pretty much says it all. Yesterday's Classics are reprinted books of classics as they were originally penned by the author. In the post modern 21st Century it is nice to know you can still purchase classic works at an affordable price.

Great Read-aloud!,
By hmbnd2 "Sonlight lover" (chillin' with my laptop) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stories of the Pilgrims (Paperback)
My children and I loved reading about the Pilgrims. I was not educated about their lives like my children are. Thisbook is very informative and right on their levels. We read this when they were 5 and 9.
