5 stars for a history book? you say. History books are so boring - Wrong! This book is a hilarious look at 5 (yes, 5) of the most influential men in early American history (John Hancock, Paul Revere, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson), as it places the characteristics most remembered about them into their personalities as children. It is targeted for the 6-8 year old crowd, but it is definitely enjoyable for kids of all ages. I laughed out loud when reading about each of them, and when reading the true/false section that sets the record straight in the back of the book. This is the perfect teaching tool for this 4th of July week. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves teaching kid, humor and history.
