Why Don't You Get a Horse, Sam Adams? illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman (1974) In total, I read 8 titles:Īnd Then What Happened, Paul Revere? illustrated by Margot Tomes (1973) This month, while the Old School Kidlit Reading Challenge has been focusing on nonfiction, I decided to finally sit down and read a stack of the late Jean Fritz's books about the history of the United States. the most adorable history of George and his petulant moods and how he became King with America as a thorn in his side.ah how I wish I had Hamilton to relay history to middle school Nique as History was always a close second for me as a major in Undergrad but to learn of how we got where we are has always intrigued me.know your history or be doomed to repeat it right.yea so George basically lost his mind trying to get the fiercely independent American citizens to pay taxes to help replenish the funds lost on the French-Indian War.then to have the French back the Americans it was comical and insightful to learn what others thought of the rebellious Americans and how the glorious Hamilton played a role in everything.Very cute book I would say its so easy to comprehend and there are no really troublesome words to pronounce or define (Love Jean Fritz for making relatable and easy to teach history books kids really read-we have about fifteen titles in the library) so around ages 8 and up but very informative and easy to understand, questions on what would you do from King's point of view and was his persistence for war to his detriment or a display of his positive rule and wish for good for his people? Hmm glad I spent time with this lil one today now to a 4th grade history class :) Soo finished this cute little book on the way home because hey I love all things English kings and royalty AND because this is the King from the cutest song on my beloved Hamilton soundtrack- I read this little cutey book in about half an hour so I can recommend it to history classes reviewing the Boston Tea Party.
