Historically correct with great pictures and story. My four year old loves it and now she knows who the great Davy Crockett is. Also teaches children about values and courage, and what it means to be an American. Crockett and Bowie are two great American heroes, and if you disagree go live in China!
Art design, story board, and lettering are excellent. I noticed that the speech in the bubbles is boldfaced, and exclamatory remarks are done with larger fonts. Along with the colorfulness of the text, the variety in text size makes it attractive for young readers to read. The events are narrated with simplicity, which agrees with the grade level it targets. ESOL students can also benefit from these kind of texts precisely for the manner in which the text and speech are presented. Five plus!
This book is part of the excellent series entitled Capstone's Graphic History set. Granted the fast-paced format is not for the history scholar or Alamo Vet for that matter but rather for young readers exploring history. The graphic novel approach is very interesting and entertaining; it brings history to life. In this historical episode the young reader will learn about American men like Jim Bowie, Colonel Travis and Davy Crockett alongside their nemisis the Mexican General Santa Anna and the Battle of The Alamo. Primary sources are used for the young historians clarification of facts. This book is a good starting point for school reports. Also offered is a beginers glossary, internet sites presented through facthound.com with a special code and suggested readings like Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna (Latinos in American History). Although geared for the young student,up to middle school, this book is also good for students whose fist language is not English who are older. Also an excellent resource for the reluctant reader. Recommended for community and middle school libraries.
I am a teacher and my students absolutely love these books! I would give them 5 stars, but they are cheaply made and pages start falling out after only a small amount of use.
It is a great graphic novel to read! It gives a lot of accurate information on what occurred during the battle of the Alamo!
Anything that makes learning fun for students is always a good thing. Students love the graphic novels. I will get more.
My middle-grades son was quoting from this book for quite a while. This book is memorable and easy to digest.It's a graphic history, which means comic-book format. CHeck with your child's teacher BEFORE the book report come due, to make sure this counts as "reading."
This is a graphic history version of the Alamo. I use this series with my ESOL students. It helps them learn English while learning American History at the same time. The Alamo is an interesting part of American History and one they will have to study in their classes.
