Amistad: The Story of a Slave Ship (Penguin Young Readers, Level 4)

Used in 4th an 5th grade social studies for my lower readers. Other kids saw the books and its has sparked off new conversations and investigations. The lower readers are the center since they read it first and have been researching the topic and are our class "experts." They are having good feelings about themselves which does not always happen.

Excellent narrative and pictures!! Very appropriate content for young readers. This is the kind of history that I never learned until I was an adult. There are so many important virtues that enslaved Africans had to possess in order to survive the 400 year African Holocaust!! All American kids should read this book. This is a great TRUE story!

This has a lot of historical details. Great book.

Great gift for young readers,, for any month in the school year.

Good condition

Une belle histoire, bien adaptée, avec de jolies illustrations (notamment des cartes très claires et adaptées aux enfants). J'ai fait travaillé un élève sur ce livre et c'est un très bon outil. Le jeune a beaucoup apprécié.
