Book Reviews of Guns for General Washington: A Story of the American Revolution

Book Review: excellent historical storytelling for young boys
Summary: 5 Stars

I read and review stories for young boys, because that's what I have. This was a hugely successful book. It's compelling to read aloud. Reit is a natural storyteller who paces the narrative very well with short chapters that appeal to little ones' attention span. His language is pitched just right--a few words had to be explained, but that stretches the young mind. And, it has the additional advantage of being a true story from our nation's origins. Books for youngsters hardly ever get better than this. Highly recommended.

Summary of Guns for General Washington: A Story of the American Revolution
