Rush Revere goes Time Travelling!

Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans by Rush Limbaugh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


As an Indie author, I understand the value of reviews. I know Rush doesn't need my endorsement but potential readers might appreciate hearing what made me keep reading this new children's book. As a grandparent, I'm always looking for good books to pass along to my granddaughter, and I've found one in this series. It's an imaginative way to capture the attention of kids and help them learn about American history.

Rush Revere is a substitute teacher who uses a time travelling horse to take two lucky kids back to important events in American history. He films the events using his I-Pod so the whole class can learn from their adventures. This first book shows his class the hardships and courage of the Pilgrims who struck out for America on the Mayflower. By introducing real people from history as interesting characters in a modern-day story, Limbaugh reveals the truth about brave people who sacrificed so much for freedom. He uses quirky language and funny events that are sure to make kids enjoy the story. Wouldn't you love to see the real people from history? Now you can travel through time and see them for yourself.

I bought the print copy of this first edition as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter, and read it on my Kindle in advance. The Kindle version was fun, but the print version is fabulous. The full color pictures and illustrations really make the story come to life. It's a great series to collect and share with your family. I can't wait to see what comes next in the series. Good JOB Rush!
