Comments Off on Another One Ready to Pass On! Another One Ready to Pass On!
I just–as in, about 4 minutes ago–finished another Battle of the books book to pass on to my 5th grade son, and I figured I’d review it quickly so I could do just that! I wasn’t familiar with Kate Messner’s “History Smashers” series before I got the BOTB list, but overall, I’m impressed–History Smashers: Pearl Harbor is informative, accessible to its target audience, and full of well-integrated sidebars and comic panels. I learned some interesting things, and I’m hoping my son will, too; at the very least, I’M excited about the rest of the series. If you have a middle grader interested in history–or a middle grader that you want to GET interested in history–this one’s a solid choice.
In the meantime, we are most definitely grateful for the precipitation, dinner was lovely, and I’m really looking forward to bedtime. Goodnight all!
