Customer Reviews

A Pioneer Christmas

I am a second grade teacher at a public school and we do a whole unit on Pioneers. My students loved this book. We read one or two chapters a day for about a week during the holidays. There are some very nice pioneer crafts and recipes that are included in the book. A Pioneer Christmas was a great addition to our studies about pioneer life. I would highly recommend.

An Excellent Sequel to PIONEER SAMPLER

Yet a second sequel (following the Thanksgiving book) about a pioneer Scots family in Canada. As always, chapters are followed by information about the era and simple historical craft projects that can be done. The illustrations are nicely detailed.
