Book Reviews of The Pilgrims and Me (Smart About History)
Book Review: Probably the best book I've seen on the Pilgrims - Hey Teachers check out this book!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book starts with a memo from Ms. Brandt who's asking her class to write a report on a subject that is of special interest to you. What you are reading is Carrie Rosen's report "The Pilgrims and Me." Carrie decided to write about the pilgrims after a family trip to Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts.
This book makes the Pilgrims seem so interesting, has some actual photos Plymouth rock, a guide dressed as a pilgrim from the Plimoth Plantation, a ship called Mayflower II which is a copy of the real Mayflower, a pilgrims & Indian's house. There are lots of cool "kid drawn" pictures, a cross section of the Mayflower, and a lot of interesting facts. Did you know that Peregrine White was the 1st baby (boy) born in America, that only Native American Indian men came to the 1st Thanksgiving the woman and children did not come, and that it wasn't one day or dinner but was actually 3 days long and that the Pilgrims did not really care about spelling, they'd spelled Plimoth lots of different ways. The book also talks about Native American and Thanksgiving. Also included in the book is an easy recipe for Cranberry Sauce and a really cute hand print turkey to do for as an Thanksgiving art project.
This would be an awesome book for 1st and 2nd graders. It really makes history come alive and is very interesting and not boring like most history books are done for children.
Summary of The Pilgrims and Me (Smart About History)
Before a family trip to Plymouth Plantation (an exact replica of the first Pilgrim village), all Maggie knew about the Pilgrims was that they had "something to do with Thanksgiving." In her class report, Maggie compares the Pilgrims's Thanksgiving with her family's traditions today, and shows readers the importance of this very special holiday.
