Fun Books!

We've stumbled across these books by Jean Fritz and we just love them.



If you are doing a unit study on the Revolutionary War and the birth of our nation then you'll enjoy these. They bring out interesting details about these famous men.
They are also available as videos.

We got a kick out of the one about John Hancock! I guess he was rather vain...

My kids might say these books bring out too many details after today.
We were reading Where was Patrick Henry on the 29th of May? and it mentioned that one man who knew Patrick Henry remembered that 'he always wore clean underwear.'
I had to read that again to make sure I'd read that correctly and then I couldn't help laughing...
I think that would fall under TMI!
Too funny!

Anyway, great books! We are enjoying them.
And lets hope we will all be remembered for more than our clean underwear someday. LOL!
