Paul Revere: Boston Patriot (Childhood of Famous Americans)

We love this series. It’s been around for a long time, I read them as a kid ( I’m 41). Safe for kids to read without bias or agendas. We are a family with strong Christian values and find these to be inoffensive to our beliefs. I would strongly recommend these books. Our children read these in 4th grade

Such a wonderful look into his life. This helped my boys to see history as reality and not just boring facts. They were moved by the lives of our founding fathers.

I read this in my third grade classroom and my students always love it! We always study the actual event along side it since it focuses more on Paul's childhood.

My kids absolutely love the "Childhood of Famous Americans" series. The are "assigned" reading in our homeschool, but I don't really have to assign them. They pick them up all on their own!

We got this for my childs 3rd great biography report. Really good, accurate story and she loved the book.Good series

This book made a great Christmas gift for my 9 year old grandson who loves to read about American History

Excellent service, great item.Thank YouNazz

I just finished reading this book... as an adult, the writing seemed very simple & even simplistic, but I still couldn't put it down. The black-and-white illustrations are just right to help you imagine the story as you read. Longfellow's poem about Paul Revere's ride is in the last chapter, along with a description of Paul's ride. Except for that poem & description, the book deals with Paul's life from 9 to around 19, when he began carrying secret messages for the Patriots.The copy I read was checked out from my library, but I will most definitely buy this book in the very near future! I can see it being pulled off our shelves again & again to be read for fun, not just as a homeschool assignment. I know that my 2nd grade daughter will enjoy reading this book for herself, and our younger boys will enjoy having it read to them.I highly recommend this book to fellow homeschoolers studying the Revolutionary War. Even teen-agers would enjoy reading this as a "break" from heavier reading assignments.
