Walking the Worlds Rim1 review
Betty Baker
Avyx, 2005
Wonderful, thought-provoking story based on true historical events!
I read this story aloud to my children, and they were riveted. It is an incredible tale about the true journey of the four survivors (3 Spaniards, one African slave, Esteban) of the Spanish Narváez expedition to Florida, originally a party of over 300 men (or 400 by some accounts). The survivors ...

Grosset & Dunlap, 2000
Don't Take it so Seriously
+ A Favorite of My Daughter's
+ Childhood favorite - now my kids' too
People who find this book cruel are taking it too seriously. Most of all, this book has been loved by all 5 of my children. It is clever and fun, and has a happy ending. I plan to continue reading it to children and maybe someday grandchildren.

Adventure Tales of America : An Illustrated History of the United States, 1492-18771 review
Jody Potts
Signal Media Publishers, 1993
A different way to learn and enjoy history
The only disadvantage of reading Jody Pott's illustrated history is that the sequel is long overdue...you'll so enjoy this version, but will long for the next book in the series, covering the years since 1877. This is a great, easy way to learn American History, for kids or adults. Whether or not ...

Pat the Bunny is the best first book to read to your baby. My daughter is fascinated by the bunny and the beard. If you receive two copies at your baby shower like I did, keep both because it will be loved to bits.
