leaving out the text of the Mayflower Compact which truly shows our Christian Heritage. Here is the document
In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc.
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France and Ireland the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini 1620.
The advancement of the Christian Faith was very important to these people. Shame this wasnt explained. |

| This is a book that I am replacing--having lost my original copy in a move. It's that good. For teaching children ranging from 1st to 5th grade, particularly those who may be second-language learners, this little book is excellent. It's written simply, but with ample information for young learners. Good as your only teaching tool, or as part of a set of similar-genre books. |

This story was well written. Even as an adult I learned new facts, but I would have liked to have learned the names of the pilgrims and what some of them did.
The paper on which the book was printed was of low quality, so would probably not survive too many little hands.
I would recommend this book for the primary grades. |

| My 6 year old has lots of questions and after exhausting my knowledge, I wanted a book that went beyond the very basics. This books is great. It covers all the details I needed for my junior history scholar in a fun, intersting way. |

I read this book to my homeschooled first grader last week and I think we were both surprised at how entertaining it was. My daughter wished that the book were longer.
A few days later our 6 year old neighbor boy came over to play. I asked him if he had been hearing about the Mayflower and Pilgrims in his repeat second year of kindergarten. Those words didn't seem to mean anything to him. I was pretty surprised since it was so close to Thanksgiving.
So I picked up this book and started to read it to him and my daughter. I would question them after I would read something historically important or the more interesting trivia such as the sailors on the Mayflower calling the Pilgrims "glib-glabbety puke stockings". Have two six year old's say that fast three times. I NEVER learned about "glib-glabbety puke stockings" when I was a kid in school. That's the kind of stuff that makes history fun!
After I read the book to them they started to build a ship out of chairs and blankets and prentended that they were pilgrims in the Mayflower. My daughter was also inspired to draw her own Mayflower based on the illustrations in the book which of course turned out to be a masterpiece.
This would make a really great Thanksgiving book. Your kids will learn lots of stuff including...pumpkin pie was not served at the first Thanksgiving due to lack of sugar but that during the 3-day celebration popcorn might have been.
I plan to buy other books in the series soon. |
