Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Yeah, I was going to write this review last night, but my hubby and I ended up working on a puzzle and watching shows instead. No regrets there! Still, I did finish Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean a few nights ago, after putting it off for a ridiculously long time for such a short book. I think it’s the art (not my favorite) plus the chapter book writing style–I love Steve Sheinkin’s other books, but the “Time Twister” series is really more of a thing for my kids than for me. (Maybe also because I grew up with a professor for a father who took us to historical sites all over the country; I never thought history was boring. Art, maybe. But not history.) That said, however, this was fun for its audience, and I did learn a few things about female pirates. It’s a good followup to Abraham Lincoln, Pro Wrestler; a focus on female historical figures, for contrast, and a specific appeal to pieces of history that have a certain relevance–or appeal–today. Give this series to your early or middle elementary schooler!
