A Book in Review –Welcome to Felicity’s World 1774

Welcome to Felicity’s World 1774: Life in Colonial America by: Catherine Gourley
Non-Fiction, history, 58 pages, 4th grade reading level, copyright 1999

Although, in the last report about a short children’s history book we complained that its shortness and numerous pictures made the book less enjoyable, we liked this short book full of pictures. First, because the pictures were smaller and were used to add information in a way more useful then words. Second, as part of the American Girl series, the book was like the end of their stories with the information on what life was like at the giving time. And as such it was much more in depth then what they cover in the novels, making it a good book to get some girl who likes the stories of Felicity.
