This is more of a Middle grade chapter book than a children's picture book. There are pages of only words. The artwork was nice what little there was of it, but I think it's because the story is so tedious. The art by itself wouldn't be that exciting either.
This book felt moldy to me. It is very repetitious...

This was an excellent read.
Yes, I didn't 100%, completely approve of the romance here--but you know what? In the end, that hardly MATTERED. Because, as with all Ann Rinaldi books . . . this is about so much more than just romance. This is why she's my favorite historical fiction author. She takes...

Sonia Levitin has written excellent books. Journey to America is a classic of Jewish historical fiction. This is not excellent, by any means. It is religious, which I am not comfortable with. It is a poor story. You are never altogether sure how the two ended up with each other. There is too much back and...

This book was good although it sometimes got off topic. The first two sections were great! They were all about the Pilgrims planning to go to the New World and arriving there. They were also about there relationship with Massasoit and his Indians. The book got very tedious near the end when the focus turned...
