If You Decide To Go To The Moon (Booklist Editor's Choice. Books for Youth (Awards)) by Faith McNulty |
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-2–Beginning with Washington's childhood and teenage years, this easy reader goes on to describe his significant involvement in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. The importance of the latter and its effect on transforming the 13 colonies into the first 13 states is also described. The text successfully introduces historical events by providing the minimal background information required for children's understanding without sacrificing accuracy. The narrative also conveys Washington's dedication, determination, and perseverance through the use of quotations that are cited at the end of the book. The short sentences, large font, and lively watercolor illustrations are right on target for new readers.–Jennifer Cogan, Bucks County Free Library, Doylestown, PA

Gr. 1-3. Adler's concise biography, in the Holiday House Reader series, introduces the life of George Washington to primary-grade children. From Washington's youth to his death, Adler tells the story clearly, including enough detail to make it interesting and enough historical background to make it understandable. The book concludes with a chronology, a brief list of recommended books, chapter-by-chapter notes for quotations, and a source bibliography. Short sentences, large type, and plenty of white space make the book accessible to young readers, while Wallner's soft-hued watercolor paintings illustrate the story in an inviting manner. A solid, simple introduction. Carolyn Phelan
