Mary Geddy's Day: Colonial Girl in Williamsburg, A

Rating:
Summary: Another Waters/Kendall success!
Review: With this book, the team of Kate Waters and Russ Kendall bring the reader into the living history of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, much as they did with their fascinating and delightful quartet of books set in Plimoth Plantation, Massachusetts. "Mary Geddy's Day" serves up the history of July 4, 1776 through the eyes of a child who actually lived it. With the formal yet engaging language of the past, and the vibrant photographs (costumed interpreters in Williamsburg) young readers are drawn into the history of Colonial America.

This is a great book to introduce the subject matter. I have already used this book extensively with third graders at the elementary school where I teach, and the students are delighted and full of questions when we are done. Bravo!
