(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. Young Boston resident Benjamin Russell witnesses many events leading up to the American Revolution, helping in Isaiah Thomas's print shop and living through the occupation of the city by British forces. There's more history than story here, although it is well told. Generous gouache and watercolor illustrations in a soft palette provide setting and additional background. Appended with author's and illustrator's notes.
