pickThis non-fiction book is great because it uses true facts and the design of the book was to educate young readers about a point in history in words they can understand. It also contains a bibliography in the back of the book, which shares its references for the facts within the text of the book.
I would use this book in my classroom because it has great information about the Boston Tea Party. I think students could get a lot out of this book and the words are easy to comprehend.
“They demanded that the tea be shipped back to England, tax unpaid.“
“When one of the men got home that evening and took off his boots, some tea leaves fell out.“
I really enjoyed reading this book. I would definitely share it with my future students inside the classroom. It is a quick history lesson on a true American event, but it is written in a simple way for young children to understand.
This is a realistic fiction book. The Boston Tea party was a protest of colonists who took over a ship and dumped all of the tea into the Boston Harbour. This was the main cause of the American Revolution. This is a true event that really happened, but some of the characters are fictional and some of the smaller details in the book may not have really occurred. In the author's note, it says no one today can name all those who took part in the BTP.
