Booklist Review

Although the topics are nothing, ahem, revolutionary, these books do a good job of packing lots of information into a compact format. Moreover, it is nice to see these subjects truly written at the right level for primary-grade readers. Paul Revere's Ride is a familiar story to children, and here it's given a thoughtful yet exciting treatment, clearly explaining the military pressures leading to the fateful night. The acrylic-paint-and-colored-pencil artwork is especially appealing sturdy yet inviting. A time line, glossary, and short list of further sources are appended.--Cooper, Ilene Copyright 2010 Booklist
