Here's the story of how people lived in colonial America, told in easy-to-read narrative style that kids can enjoy on their own. Children will see how families worked together; enter their homes and see what foods they ate and what kinds of clothing they wore; learn about their occupations, their religious views, and their ideas about education; explore unusual medical treatments; find out what colonists did for fun and recreation; see how they traveled from place to place; and gain a better understanding of the colonists' relationship with the Indians who lived along the Atlantic seaboard.
Activities at the end of each chapter suggest authentic arts and crafts activities, such as making a kite from everyday materials like the colonists would have done, plus cross-curricular activities and puzzles to challenge and motivate readers. Illustrations and photographs illustrate every aspect of colonial life. A special full-color, pull-out insert provides a map of colonial America.
