A Really Patriotic Possum
This is a history book for very young children. I bought it for the young children in my family. The only thing I have a right to say about this book is that I like the church mouse's view of Benjamin Franklin's life in BEN and Me, better than this possum's view of John Paul Jones. My mind kept chirping to me about the horrors of shipboard life in the late seventeen hundreds, about John Paul Jones time in the British Navy, all of which is not useful to what is essentially an outline of history. So here is a review from children 6, 9, and 13. The Synopsis is written by the thirteen year old.
This book explains the beginning of the American Revolution from the view of a young boy and a possum who want to help his friends and neighbors be free. The line drawings are large and clear.
The children who have read this either loved it or hated it. My 9 year old grandson looked at me and said, "A possum? Seriously? My 6 year old granddaughter read this by chapters at bedtime and was happy to find what comes next. I gave it to the 13 year old who loved the clear steps the reasons for the naval war was important in 1775, and finished it in about 15 minutes to read it and write her synopsis. The other 13 year old handed it back to me and said no thank you, which makes sense since he is not the audience the book is aimed at.
I am not sorry I bought it, the bare facts of the naval war are accurate, and someone may find it useful down the road.
