5.0 out of 5 stars Values for today from a tale of 1627, June 1, 2000

By	Stuart Bloom (Earlville, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful, wonderful book. It will help you teach your children about hard work, perseverance, and family. My children want it read to them again and again.

Young Samuel Eaton (a historical character) is looking forward to his first chance to help his father bring in the crops. He finds the work incredibly hard, and the coarse grain raises bad blisters on his hands. But he perseveres, and at the end of the day when his father tells him "you did a man's work today, Samuel," we feel his pride.

Masterfully written, beautifully photographed, this is a gem in every way.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for learning about life as a pilgrim boy!, November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Samuel Eaton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Boy (Library Binding)

This book took us back to 1627. We learned all about Samuel Eaton's first day as a man. He told us all about the hard work he had to do in the fields. It was so interesting to read a story that used different words from long ago. The pictures were awesome! They showed us the clothing the pilgrims wore, what their house looked like, and the hard work everybody did. We thought it would be difficult to be a pilgrim boy! We think everyone should read this book because you can learn a lot about how the pilgrims lived. Read this wonderful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, June 12, 2003

By	"genealogyandhistory" (United States) - See all my reviews

I am continually amazed at how children's books offer detail and insight into daily life that no stout history book can provide.

Writing the same review for the other two in this trilogy. Excellent all!
