review 1: Nice try, but no. The picture book details the story of the relationship between George Washington and Marque de LaFayette. For a picture book, it has far too many details. I don't see small children sitting for 10 to 15 minutes to listen to this story. The illustrations are nice, but don't stand out enough to capture the attention of the reader, it also does not help to tell the story.I gave it three stars, only because I love history and I personally learned a great deal from the resources, but I would not use this in a classroom or for storytime.
review 2: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. This is the story of the very close relationship between George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette. It is a wonderfully done biographical picture book that brings both hi... morestorical figures to life. Children (and their parents or teachers) will be able to see these men, not merely as figures in history, but as people. Additional sidebar quotes, a timeline for each man's life at the end of the book, and other historical information make this book something that older children and adults will love to explore! Teachers can use this book to introduce the Revolutionary War era to students of all ages (I would have used it with my high schoolers). If you are homeschooling, this would make an excellent resource. Highly recommended!!! less
