Wonderful educational tool!,

This review is from: Story of the American Revolution Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
For very little money, Dover Publications has provided a wealth of knowledge for the history student. The illustrations to color have captions accurately explaining the detail of the scene, and many major highlights of the era are depicted. There are 40 illustrations in all, and this book provides serious academic text!
Story of the American Revolution Coloring Book is an entertaining activity to stimulate interest in our history, and I highly recommend it.

My six-year-old son loves to color and is fascinated by anything to do with the American Revolution, so when I found this coloring book I was thrilled. He colors in it by the hour. As far as I can tell, the costumes and scenes and text are all accurate and authentic, which helps him to learn more about the Revolution. That's something I appreciate as a homeschool mom.

This review is from: Story of the American Revolution Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I would love to tell you all how I purchased this book for my son, or for my students to learn about the topic at hand, but the truth is, I remembered my father buying me this book at the West Point Military Museum in NY about 25 years ago. I saw it and it rekindled an old interest in me, and so I purchased this book for myself. LOL!As for the book itself... Story of the American Revolution Coloring Book, is a concise volume on the diverse personalities,dress,military, battles and events of the war that the major combatants experienced during the American war of Independence. Though the focus of this volume is certainly devoted to the intricate details and descriptions, Mr. Copeland has also included a brief history of the armies as well as some orders of battle details and important personalities as well. The author has used contemporary illustrations and well-written descriptions to piece together their images, and give insight into the armies and their dress at the time. The range of regiments/units that they have been able to portray is very impressive. As well as depicting the British Regiments at the start of the war, Copeland has traced the development of new and more sensible uniforms procured by the British Army by the time of the Saratoga and Philadelphia campaigns. Other uniforms explored include the myriad of American militia units, British loyalists, colorful Germans and Frontiersmen, and of course, the French. The book is well designed, educational, and easy and enjoyable to read, but, mom & dad beware - even though it IS a 'colouring book', it really is not for children. The details are small but accurate, and if you do not know what the colours of the uniforms are supposed to be, you do run the risk of filling in the templates incorrectly. There are, however, colour templates on the back cover of the book, but I cannot conceive of anyone wanting to open and close the book to glean details for colouring purposes; especially children. Still in all, a great book, and highly enjoyable!
