Unlike many biographies designed for children that seem to focus on just one part of someone's life, George Washington for Kids presents a thorough account of the first president's entire life. The book mixes information about Washington's many accomplishments in life, mixed with interesting facts about his life (who knew that Washington returned a British general's dog after a battle?). What truly makes the book enjoyable are the different activities interspersed throughout the pages, like designing a recruitment post, rolling beeswax candles, or how to play a game of whist. The book would be a great addition to the library of any history lover. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

George Washington comes alive in this fascinating activity book that introduces the leader to whom citizens turned again and again--to lead them through eight long years of war, to guide them as they wrote a new Constitution, and to act as the new nation's first executive leader. Children will learn how, shortly after his death in 1799, people began transforming George Washington from a man into a myth. But Washington was a complex individual who, like everyone, had hopes and fears, successes and failures. In his early 20s, for instance,Washington's actions helped plunge Great Britain and France into war. He later fought for liberty and independence, yet owned slaves himself (eventually freeing them in his will). This book weaves a rich tapestry of Washington's life, allowing kids to connect with his story in 21 hands-on projects based on his experiences and the times in which he lived. Children will learn how to tie a cravat, write with a quill pen, follow animal tracks, sew a lady's cap, plant a garden, roll a beeswax candle, play a game of Quoits, and make a replica of Washington's commander-in-chief flag. The text includes a time line, glossary, websites, travel resources, and a reading list for further study. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
