In this book, you learn about „The Mayflower“ and this was very interesting. The author answered lots of question. The pictures are cute. The text is not for younger children, cuz its more text. In this book you can find out what pilgrims are, how they created houses and the journey was.

The book is very neat and nice. The colors are good and you understand everything.

Great book! This book would be great for a lesson when third graders are learning about pilgrims.

1st-4th

This is a great book to help teach students about the Mayflower. The major questions students have are answered. It answers what the Mayflower is, who the Pilgrims are, why the Pilgrims left England and took this journey on the Mayflower. These are all answered through out a story of the Pilgrims journey on the Mayflower to the first year in America. The reader learns about this historical event through the fun illustrations and text.
Have your students explore the journey on the Mayflower. A time that was simpler and full of exploration. This story would be a great support for a Social Studies lesson.

Wonderful book to read around Thanksgiving. We learned lots of new things and look forward to traveling to Provincetown, Massachusetts in the near future.

This would be a great book to use when talking about the explorers of the world in Social Studies. It talks about the Mayflower and all the other Social Studies topics that stem from this subject.

This book is one that I once owned, purchased with my dad's hard earned money from a school book order. I read it repeatedly, really got Dad's money's worth out of it.

What I most remember about this book is the horrid food that the Pilgrims ate while on the Mayflower. I believe hardtack was mentioned.

I don't remember if the book touched on death at all. Did people die on the Mayflower? I can't remember and I no longer have this book. Maybe my sis has my old copy. I need to ask her about all those books I no longer have.

We've requested several more books from this series from the library. Too long for a single sit down read aloud, but full of accessible info about the Pilgrim voyage. A stayed up to read it through by himself.

Very educational. Explains the daily life of the Pilgrims. Shows good and bad perspectives..

This was a most delightful book I read with my children to learn about Thanksgiving! My children were fascinated and we learned things about the pilgrims that I had never even learned before! We thoroughly enjoyed reading this for our home school!

Better the second time through.

This story was about the Pilgrims journey to America. It uses a question and answer format as it is writing about the trip. The story not only talks about the trip through the ocean, but it also discusses what happened once they got here. It talks about the hard reality that there was lots of illness and many people died, but it did not make this a big emphasis. It uses the real names and shows a diagram of the set-up of the Mayflower. It talks about what it would have been like to be a kid during this time. They talk about the friendship that the Pilgrims gained with the Indians. Then the story end talking about the very first Thanksgiving holiday.
This story would be great to read when the students are learning about the Pilgrims. There are words in the story that are italisized which could be used as vocabulary words. The kids would be able to make a connection between how different things were back in 1620 than they are now. This would also be a good story to read near Thanksgiving to help the students to understand how the holiday was started and what it was first about.
