Little Mouse's Adventures on the Freedom Trail - Hardcover

Boston's Freedom Trail is filled with history and attracts numerous tourists yearly; so having a picture book such as Brittany Bang's Little Mouse's Adventures on the Freedom Trail, geared to ages 3 and up, invites parents and kids alike to learn about the historical importance of the Trail through the eyes of an adventurous little mouse who explores Boston's historic landmarks. Kids with basic picture book reading skills (or parental assistance) receive lovely, large-size illustrations by Caitlyn Knepka as they follow a mouse's journey through Boston Common and beyond. Through the mouse's observations, kids learn about the history of the Freedom Trail and its importance, touching upon key monuments, buildings, and their past and present history along the way. Little Mouse's Adventures on the Freedom Trail is especially recommended as a take-along tote for any parent planning a family visit to Boston, as well as for residents who want to introduce their kids to American history. These audiences, especially, will be able to follow the little mouse's exploration of the 'red line' that connects history and brings it alive; all from the perspective of a mouse's viewpoint of historical events. Highly recommended; especially for Boston residents and would-be family visitors with a special interest in history!--Diane Donovan "Donovan's Bookshelf "
