Paul Revere's Ride

Paul Revere's Ride - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, illustrated by Nancy Winslow Parker
HarperTrophy
ISBN: 0-688-04014-4

My rating: 4 out of 5

I enjoyed this book. It is an illustrated edition of Longfellow's poem describing the legendary ride of Paul Revere. What I liked most was the illustrations. They were simple, and yet they clearly conveyed what was going on in the poem and really helped bring to life the setting of colonial America.

This would be a great book to use while studying about the Revolutionary War.
