Book Reviews of Mayflower 1620: A New Look at a Pilgrim Voyage

Book Review: Enthusiastically recommended and enthralling
Summary: 5 Stars

The collaborative effort of the Plimoth Plantation, authors Peter Arenstam, John Kemp, and Catherine O'Neill Grace, and photographers Sisse Brimberg and Cotton Coulson, Mayflower 1620: A New Look At A Pilgrim Voyage is a superb picture book retelling of history for young people, about the voyage of the Mayflower ship and the lives of the colonists who braved hardship for a new future. Gorgeous, full-color photographs capture reenactments of how life aboard the Mayflower was like, and the down-to-earth text presents the events of history in detail. An enthusiastically recommended and enthralling educational read, Mayflower 1620 is ideal for young readers seeking to broaden and improve their knowledge of American colonial history as well as their basic reading skills.

Summary of Mayflower 1620: A New Look at a Pilgrim Voyage

Plimoth Plantation and National Geographic now tell the true story behind the voyage of the Mayflower?offering kids a compelling account that?s quite different from the story traditionally told. Vibrant photos of a historic reenactment plus informative text based on rigorous research and primary sources reveal new details about what the ship?s passengers wore, ate, hoped, dreamed, did to pass the long hours during the voyage, and faced after landing in the place they called Plymouth. Readers may be surprised to learn that these seafarers didn?t call themselves Pilgrims?that name was applied to them centuries later. And while about half the passengers indeed were seeking religious freedom, many others were far more interested in seeking new fortunes. Here?s a great book for showing kids that a true understanding of the past often requires looking closer at what we think we know!
