Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6–Experimenting with a more visual approach to history, these books contain somewhat fictionalized looks at America's past. They present general background information about the Colonial period before focusing on a particular figure or event. Angular cartoon drawings with many colors and conversation bubbles may hold special appeal for reluctant readers. However, identifying the characters can be difficult after their introduction. In Valley Forge, for example, only four names are mentioned in the text (George Washington, Lafayette, Baron von Steuben, and General Charles Lee). Deciding which drawings are historical figures and which represent commoners often depends upon recollection of a figure's shirt/hair color. By using minimal language, the texts oversimplify Revolutionary-era disputes and the complex life of Benjamin Franklin. Perhaps useful as topic introductions, these titles sacrifice depth for graphic appeal. Colonial and Revolutionary people and events are covered in many picture books that better balance facts with format.–Julie R. Ranelli, Episcopal Center for Children, Washington, DC

A Graphic History for Children,
By Lynn Ellingwood "The ESOL Teacher" (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Winter at Valley Forge (Graphic History) (Paperback)
This is a great book to use with ESOL students or other students who need help understanding the American Revolution. I find them interesting myself and learn from them too. The books are straightforward and interesting. The graphic form is in color and easy to read. Great for students learning to read in English and having to learn American History too.
3.0 out of 5 stars
