LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JACK AND ANNIE RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a 12-year-old girl, and this Magic Tree House Research Guide rules! I love learning about the Revolutionary War and history, so Jack and Annie are the best kids ever! In this guide, you can answer questions like...

"What IS the Decloration of Independence?" "Who WAS George Washington and all those other American Heroes?" "What WAS the Boston Tea-Party?" "Who DID rule over the 13 Colonies in the mid/late 1700's?" "What DID the first flag look like?" "What WAS it like to live durning the Coloinal times?" "What WAS the Battle at Valley Forge?" "How DID we win the War?"

All these questions answered and MANY, MANY MORE to BE answered in this book: Magic Tree House Research Guide: American Revolution (a Non-Fiction Companion to "Revolutionary War on Wednesday")

***Remember to check out the OTHER Research Guides and the Magic Tree House missions, too! And the newest ones: The Merlin Missions, where Jack and Annie go to the time of Camelot and King Arthur! They're all SO(...) super! You keep writing, Mary Pope Osborne, and I'll keep READING!

An Aid to Students with Developmental Disabilities in Inclusion Middle School
This book has been a significant tool in adapting the seventh grade Social Studies curriculum (American History) for my two inclusion students with autism who read on a second to third grade reading level. The text is interesting and gets to the basic causes and results of the American Revolution. The illustrations help to provide some concrete visual aids. I also had these students read Revolution on Wednesday for their independent reading in English to further familiarize them with the story of the Revolution and the terminology involved. As a result, my students now have a rudimentary understanding of the American Revolution.

I look for more of these wonderful research guides. We will be using the Civil War books when we get to that part of the curriculum.

Revolutionary Reader
All of Mary Osborne's books provide a unique look at certain time periods in an easy to understand format. These books make a perfect addition to an elementary library or student's personal bookshelf.
