The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jeffrey Thompson. Scratchboard illustrations scanned into a computer and layered with color illustrate the stirring narrative poem re-creating Paul Revere's historic ride to warn the colonists in Lexington in 1775. The combination of strong graphic elements lends the poem a surreal quality, especially the scenes presided over by an oversized, crater-scarred moon. An endnote provides historical facts about the event.
