Synopsis

Paul Revere's RideIn this classic piece of American poetry, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow commemorates the actions of American Patriot Paul Revere on April 18, 1775. The tale depicts Paul Revere's exciting midnight ride to warn all the neighbors in the countryside that the British were coming—one light if by land and two if by sea. Pied Piper of HamelinThe Pied Piper of Hamelin got rid of the pesky, hated rats, but when the villagers refused to pay for his services, the Pied Piper took matters into his own hands—and the villagers paid a very dear price, indeed.

This version is my favorite! Love the illustrations. Ages: 6 - 10 Cleanliness: "bl**dy" is used to mean lots of blood. **Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too.

I was hoping that this book might discuss some o......more
