Revolutionary War on Wednesday

I would use book 22 about the Revolutionary War in a fourth or fifth-grade social studies class as a class read-aloud book. Mary Pope Osborne does a wonderful job of creating a fantasy time machine where Jack and Annie are able to explore historical moments while teaching the readers about the said historical events. This book in particular is about the Revolutionary War where George Washington travels across the Delaware River on Christmas. Jack and Annie are there to originally help their friend Morgan solve a riddle but end up motivating George Washington to continue fighting for the futures of American children. The Magic Tree House series is excellent for younger grade students who aren't able to sit through a textbook lecture just yet. ( )

I like this book because it really brings history to life in a fun and vibrant way. I think that it would be a great book to read as a class because it is exciting enough to grasp attention. I think students will enjoy it because of the fact that the children are doing the discovering. I have read a lot of the Magic Tree House series and they never disappoint. ( )
