In this book, Annie and Jack are given the opportunity to travel back in time where they meet Indians and Pilgrims as well as gain an understanding of the difficult life during that period. I would use this book to incorporate literature with social studies as well as the holiday, Thanksgiving!

I actually learned a lot about pilgrims. I learned what the children pilgrims did, I learned what they did, and what they wore. It was a great book. I hope to read another book just like that. It was really exciting. I really enjoyed reading it. And I also learned what it meant to them having them leave their homes. I give this book four stars. It really was a amazing story about the pilgrims.

The pilgrims research guide was very good. the book was about the pilgrims from the year 1620-1691. One of the most interesting thing that i learned was how they built houses.

This was a great book for my 3rd grader. Not too much information, not too juvenile. Just right.
