review 1: Freedman presents a retelling of the events leading up to, as well as the actual evening of, the infamous (well, at least in American history courses) Boston Tea Party. Students will enjoy Freedman's presentation much more than the presentation featured in their textbooks. Freedman provides not only an entertaining and factual story, but factual supplementary materials such as a map, a timeline, an introduction, an afterward, source notes, and an index. The illustrations are soft yet detailed. I recommend this book for library and classroom purchase.
review 2: A kid-friendly book on the Boston Tea Party that reads like a newspaper article/diary because it draws on accounts from people who were there. Illustrations are full color and full of emotion. Back matter... more includes an Afterword, Bibliography, a backstory on tea, and a timeline. Not the first book I would reach for if a child needed a book for a report, but a great nonfiction read of American interest nonetheless. less
