I really liked this book. It’s the perfect mix of engaging but also informative. My personal pet peeve is when kids books are too silly and oversimplified because they don’t help kids brains to develop.
The Mayflower is a book that both kids and parents will love. It’s interesting, fun and engaging while also giving children the opportunity to learn and grow.
I also really appreciate the fact that the author depicts what really happened between the settlers and the native Americans. It was written in a way that a child would understand without compromising the truth.
My only issue with this book-and it’s a very minor one at that- is that the word lusty is used as a description of one of the characters. I personally could’ve done without it in a kid’s book.
