"The Floating House" and "The Honest-To-Goodness Truth"
The Floating House
4 stars
Author: Scott Russell Sanders
Illustrator: Helen Cogancherry
In the early 1800s the U.S. was expanding away from the East Coast as people longing to own a piece of land went west to settle on the then frontiers of Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois. This book follows the McClure family as they go down the Ohio River in a flatboat. Everything they own is on that flatboat, even a horse, a cow, a donkey and a pig.
The illustrations are well done. They show where the family is going and the many aspects of the river they are floating down.
The Honest-to-Goodness Truth
4 stars
Author: Patricia C. McKissack
Illustrator: Giselle Potter
Libby is caught in a lie to her Mother. She vows to always tell the truth after that.
Telling the truth must be the right thing to do.
Somehow telling the truth all the time doesn't give Libby the results she expected.
