Our Thoughts
I am not a homeschooling mom, I am however a mom of some very intelligent little boys who are in love with history and building things.
This book is a fantastic way for the boys to learn about one of our founding fathers and make some really simple, cool items! For the younger boys this book can be easily picked to pieces so they do not get an over load of information, but for my oldest, he can sit and read this book by himself. What impressed me more was when my oldest took this to school. The history teacher was impressed with the information and projects. She even used a project or two out of the book for the kids.
If you are a homeschooler, a mom with kiddos that like projects, or are just interested in history - I highly recommend this book to add to your arsenal of teaching and learning! 5 Stars from us!
You can find this book on Amazon or Goodreads.
