We just finished this one today. I'm reading to all (10, 8, 5, 2.5, and nb) but my main listeners are the oldest two (10 & 8). I'm enjoying Clyde Robert Bulla. I believe this is book three of his for us. I've always known the bits of Pocahontas tales from my own childhood when the Disney movie was first released. And later learned of John Rolfe. It is interesting that such a children's book would envoke such emotions and feelings in me. It is interesting to see my children introduction to both the legends and the history. It does pair well with what else we are reading. My girls are enjoying this and I think they are learning underlying messages. First from Walk the World's Rim and A Lion to Guard Us to now Pocahontas and the Strangers and The Sign of the Beaver. I'm curious how they will receive the story of Squanto next. We've read a picture book but not yet the Bulla chapter book.
I own this paperback as recommended from BookShark Level 3, Introduction to American History.
