Our Thoughts:
Put simply, my older kids devoured this book series! They could not put them down once they started! My 13 year old and 10 year old are already asking if there will be more to this series, and we certainly hope there will. I feel that any book which enchances understanding of history is worth reading and having history come to life in this form has been very beneficial to our family.
Here are some thoughts from my 13 year old:
I really like the Rush Revere series. My favorite characters are Liberty and Freedom. Liberty is a funny and adventurous horse that can go back in time and he also talks. Liberty is always thinking about food! Freedom and Liberty have a special connection where they can communicate with their thoughts and minds. Freedom is a smart student in Rush Revere’s class. Rush Revere is a substitute teacher who always wears a colonial outfit everywhere he goes. In each book, the characters travel back in time and meet different founding fathers and attend famous events. My favorite book in the series is Rush Revere and the Presidency because I was able to learn more about presidency and elections. The books are very descriptive so it’s easy to know what happened in the past events. These books make history fun. I think kids who want to learn more about history would like to read these books.
