9780531238585: You Wouldn't Want to Sail on the Mayflower! (Revised Edition) (You Wouldn't Want to...: History of the World)

Synopsis

It is 1620, and you and your parents are about to emigrate from England and sail to the New World to avoid being persecuted for your religious beliefs.

This interactive series will enthrall young and reluctant readers (Ages 8-12) by making them part of the story, inviting them to become the main character. Each book uses humorous illustrations to depict the sometimes dark and horrific side of life during important eras in history.

It will be a long and hazardous voyage, and not everyone will survive, but you and your fellow Pilgrims will have a special place in the history of the United States. This new extended edition includes a map and a timeline, and a selection of exciting facts about the Pilgrims and their voyage.

About the Author

Fiona MacDonald studied history at Cambridge University and at the University of East Anglia. She has taught in schools, adult education and university, and is the author of numerous books for children on historical topics.

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6–Told in a conversational tone, the narrative draws readers into the realities of the Pilgrims arduous but monumental voyage. Students witness illnesses, storms at sea, and the unknown wilderness of the settlers new home. Sprinkled with lighthearted but important advice–Handy hint: Try to survive and raise lots of children–your ancestors will be grateful!–this book portrays the significant implications of the Pilgrims landing in America. The author also provides the necessary historical background, explaining why they left their homeland. As in previous titles, cartoon art adds humor and engages readers. A diagram of the ships layout provides perspective and small, illustrated maps are also an aid.–Jennifer Cogan, Bucks County Free Library, Doylestown, PA
