No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 4/5 The illustrations are colorful and bring to life both sides of the American Revolution. The narrative introduces the two enemies, both named George: George Washington, and King George III. The two leaders are on different sides of the Atlantic, and yet have more in common than we sometimes realize. It is set up with headings/chapters to separate the text into sections. There are two sides to every story! Recommended by book club (Brita, Alicia, Cora) This clever concept shows both sides' view of how the American Revolution began, played out, and ended, taking the perspective of both George Washington and King George III, from 1763 until the Treaty of Paris 1783 (the Afterword explains what both Georges did after that). Though the format is a picture book, this material is intended for older readers; the author covers tarring and feathering, soldiers' raping and murdering civilians, and maltreatment of prisoners (starvation, etc.). Informative illustrations, direct quotes, and the occasional map enhance the text. Back matter includes an Afterword ("What ever happened to King George III?" and "What did George Washington do next?"), acknowledgments, bibliography, quote sources, and an index; there is no timeline, which would have been a helpful thing to include. I like this book because it gives two side to the story. On the side of the Americans, we are strong and independent. On the side of the British, we are ungrateful and spoiled. I think that it is good for students to be able to find counter arguments to the things that they have learned in their classes through out the year. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
