Customer Reviews

A beautiful book!

Enchanting illustrations of objects and activities from Virginia's colonial days educate very young children about both the alphabet and history. This book would be a wonderful gift to prepare for a visit to Colonial Williamsburg. Imagine the fun of searching out the items depicted! The beautiful illustrations definitely make this book worth purchasing. Highly recommended.

High interest ABC's

This hardcover book is absolutely darling! Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a different common object which would have been found during Colonial times such as A for Anvil, B for Bird Bottle, C for Cannon, D for drum. A brief description of the item and how it was used is also included in very simple terms which youngsters can easily understand. The illustrations are gorgeous featuring two small children, who are appropriately dressed in Colonial garb of course. This is a great book for preschoolers and would be especially relevant for a supplement to a homeschool unit study on Early America.
