The Redcoats are coming! The Redcoats are coming! Every second counts as patriot Paul Revere rides into the night to warn the colonists. Will he make it? Young readers will find out all about this real-life American hero in this fun, action-packed Step 3 reader. “History and biography are also successful topics for level three readers. Random’s Step into Reading has the best offerings for the reading level. . . . They are high in kid appeal”— Booklist Shana Corey was a Publishers Weekly Flying Start Author in 2000 and is also a Random House editor. She lives in Brooklyn, NY.
This book is an easy read or grades 1-2 and can be used to discuss the history of the revolutionary war or the Boston Tea Party. The illustrations are nice, and I like the map. This would go nicely with a biography unit or as an independent read to have in my classroom. I wish it had actual photographs of the Christ Church or Paul Revere's house today. It would also have been nice if the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was included instead of just referred to.
Interesting story about Paul Revere, silversmith and an American hero, who spoke out and fought against British King and government.Good book to read for the history class.
