What Was The Boston Tea Party? (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

Big Idea
Affectionately referred to by Pam, our town librarian, as the "Big Head Books," this series profiles both people "Who Was ...?" and events "What Was ...?" in a 100-page, illustrated, pocket-sized paperback. Each cover features a character with an enormous head upon a little body - basically a caricature-style drawing that makes the book approachable to the target age range of 8-12 years. The tales of biography and events spring to life in these distinctive, clever, yet historical tomes which are a cross between chapter books and graphic novels. They are expertly written and feature sidebar pages of maps and "did you know" blurbs. Each page has an easily digestible 100 words with an average of 10 chapters per book and includes a timeline and a bibliography at the back. Confident readers will enjoy the easy-to-read format and interesting range of personalities - from
This book is not 112 pages - it is 97 pages, that's all.
For a school project, I needed a book on the Boston Tea Party that was at least 110 pages long. I thought this book would meet the requirement because the advertisement on Amazon says it is 112 pages, but it isn't, it is only 97 pages.
Great for Reports
I was doing a report for class on the Boston Tea Party, and being a strait A student, I tend to look for books with the most information neatly organized. It is a great book full of tons of facts. It is good for reports and has WWWWHW (who, what, where, when, how, why). It is also good if you are someone who enjoys reading history.
Good history
Another great history book for kids (and adults). Puts the facts out there in an easy read format. I love these books.
Want to love it, but it is poorly organized.
We loves this series of books - we actually use them for homeschooling (this one was for our 2nd grader). This book, however, really disappointed me. It was so disorganized, jumping around, not pulling topics together well for a first time student on this subject. Perhaps the error is mine, in that I selected something too advanced for a novice on this subject. Regardless of knowledge level, however, I do feel a book should be well organized and this one dropped the ball, in my opinion. I couldn't recommend it and will try to return it.
Good reading for all ages
As I said about the Statue of Liberty book, they are wonderful books for all ages. My 11 and 8 year old grandsons enjoy them and read them immediately upon receiving them. I too found them interesting.
Five Stars
