As a fan of Gilbert Morris, I really enjoyed this book. While different from some of his other series, it still kept me interested in true Gilbert Morris fashion.

This book is a quick read for an overview of Daniel Boone's life that keeps kids' attention (even as young as age 5).

A nice overview of Daniel Boone's life that I used in school for my Kindergartener. She enjoyed learning about Daniel Boone in a picture book format that that this book provided.

Super overview of American history. Older kids can read the information themselves or the information can be summarized for younger kids while they enjoy the pictures.

This book gave a "first-hand" account of the Civil War through this boy's perspective. It makes this period of history come alive for children studying the Civil War and has multiple references to actual events that will supplement learning about this era.

I enjoyed this depiction of cowboy history from a first hand point of view. (Just a note that this book is completely fiction, even though the epilogue makes it seem like it's a true story. The back of the book has the fiction disclaimer in it.)

I enjoyed reading Prophet immensely. Not only was the book suspenseful and intriguing, Peretti hits upon controversial issues in a way that causes the reader to examine his own opinions on these issues. A good read!

I enjoyed reading The Watchers. The story was full of suspense and intrigue - you weren't sure where the story line would take you. I enjoyed Olsen's portrayal of the conflict between angels and demons that takes place. A good read!
