Reviews

[Laura Carr · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was a bit dull for both the children and me—especially after reading "If You Lived in Williamsburg in Colonial Days" by Barbara Brenner, which I highly recommend instead.

Informational book on the life in colonial America. Great photos of real people re-enacting life of those times.
