"This book is a book that could be easily spread out to multiple days before Thanksgiving. It can be also a be a pre-writing activity book for students to ask questions, as the book is written with those questions in mind, and tries so answer all of them. I like how the beginning of the book starts with a cutout of the boat, and it explains what that view point means. This book will build a lot of content knowledge and connect with prior background knowledge on the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving. The pictures are drawn in a cartoon fashion, with the emotions being exaggerated to match the text."
"This gets an "amazing" because my kids were on the edge of the couch listening to this. They spent three nights in a row talking to their dad about it at dinner and it still comes up every now and then. Even the 5-yr-old enjoyed it and has been able to talk about it.
This is just a brief overview of the Pilgrims. It covers a bit while in England/Holland then more on the Mayflower itself and then the New World. It took us 3 days to read it. It covers "all the basics" you'd need to know. It doesn't hide the fact that it was hard, that people got sick and that they died. But it also doesn't dwell on it. Using actual names and a brief tidbit about them here and there made it seem much more personal.
The illustrations are lovely. I thought the question/answer format would irritate me, but it worked well here.
This would be all you'd need for the younger grades, but around 3rd grade or so you would want to add a few other books for depth.
I don't know if my boys will ever forget the Billington boys who lit a piece of rope while standing by the gunpowder kegs on board the ship. Or the punishment of tying someone's head to their feet (they actually want us to try that one!). And they're looking forward to their Pilgrim meal with real eels - or as one of them suggested, a cake made to look like an eel."
"This book is one that I once owned, purchased with my dad's hard earned money from a school book order. I read it repeatedly, really got Dad's money's worth out of it.
What I most remember about this book is the horrid food that the Pilgrims ate while on the Mayflower. I believe hardtack was mentioned.
I don't remember if the book touched on death at all. Did people die on the Mayflower? I can't remember and I no longer have this book. Maybe my sis has my old copy. I need to ask her about all those books I no longer have."
"This is one of my all time favs. It really gives people a chance to see their living conditions and how the boat was organized. When my children were little, we used a quart container and made a replica to scale. I still use this book in my ESL classrooms. Truly one of the best books."
