Synopsis
What kind of ship was the Mayflower? How did the Pilgrims feel when they saw land? What was the first building in Plymouth? In lively question-and-answer style, this fact-filled book answers all sorts of questions about the Pilgrims' journey on the Mayflower and their first year in America.
Boys and girls will find out why the Pilgrims left England to live in America, what they took with them on board the Mayflower, and the hardships they endured. They'll learn what the Mayflower Compact was, how the Pilgrims made a peace treaty with the Indians, and how these brave settlers managed to survive in their new land.
Ms McGovern has carefully researched the Pilgrims' journey and their first year in America. Her portrayal is full of fascinating detail about their everyday life. Young readers will be intrigued to discover that Pilgrim boys and girls slept on corn husk mattresses they made themselves, and that most of the houses had only one chair -- which was reserved for the man of the house!
The humorous, true-to-life illustrations serve as effective complements to the informative, fun-to-read text.

February 23, 2009: I bought this series for my daughter. We absolutely LOVE it! It gives her all the real information about what it would be like to live or travel during the time period. Some of the books include nursery rhymes we use today and show their origin. I learned things in these books I never learned in school! Easy to read and understand. Great pictures and detailed information.
I Also Recommend: If You Were A Pioneer on The Prairie, If You Grew up With Abraham Lincoln, If You Grew Up With George Washington, If You Traveled West in a Covered Wagon, If You Lived in Williamsburg in Colonial Days.
