A Picture Book of Paul Revere (Picture Book Biographies)
Grade 1-3?As in other entries in the series, Adler briefly traces his subject's life, covering the major points and important dates. He points out how Revere's famous etching of the Boston Massacre distorted what really happened in order to fan anti-British sentiment. The famous midnight ride is described, but not allowed to overwhelm the rest of the man's accomplishments. The matter-of-fact, easy-reading text is enlivened and expanded upon by the Wallners' attractive and informative line and watercolor artwork. Jean Fritz provides more period detail in And Then What Happened, Paul Revere? (Putnam, 1973), but for those maddening first-and-second grade biography assignments, Adler presents one of the few respectable options. A welcome addition.?Elaine Fort Weischedel, Turner Free Library, Randolph, MACopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
