Illustrated by
Holly Berry.
Things are kept simple in this time-travel history book, with a compact cast (grandmother and two children) as participants in one momentous historical episode. The soft contours and gentle colors of the illustrations give the volume a young look, and the historical information is pitched low but cleanly and accurately. This is a natural classroom supplement as well as diverting independent fare for newer readers.
