This book taught my daughter more about the causes of the Revolutionary War than her history textbook. Hilarious!

This is the paperback version, published by Scholastic.

We enjoyed reading about the Revolutionary War - from the other side of the fence, so to speak! The book helped us to understand King George better.

A Jean Fritz book that explains the American Revolutionary period very well even kids (and their parents) can finally understand what was happening.

Great kid's biography of King George III, the English monarch on the throne at the time of the American Revolution. It's well written, and isn't just a jingoistic condemnation of either the King or the revolutionaries. It's fairly short, and I'm guessing it would be good for an 8-9 year old, or a precocious younger child. Even as an adult, it was worth the few minutes it took to read.
