Good book for children

Great book for kids starting to read chapter books

I read this with one of my middle school English students in Italy, who had read a similar book about the French Revolution and wanted more. The story is crafted superbly to teach history by bringing the reader back in time to live the historical moment in all 5 senses. Both a history lesson and and English lesson, with many rich vocabulary words and cultural tidbits. We'll be reading others in this series and the plus is that these books are also available through Amazon in Europe.

I liked this book. A quick, easy read. I especially liked the author's story and facts at the end. Highly recommended.

I teach First Grade, but I tutor students in Fourth grade through Sixth grade. I use this series, the books are very interesting and they make you want to find out how they end.
