(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. Moody full-scale oil paintings placed on the right-hand pages of this brief picture book show the misery of soldiers encamped at Valley Forge in the winter of 1778. While the pictures do a good job of capturing specific moments, the choppy, dauntingly dense text doesn't provide readers with a complete account. Relevant sidebars appear occasionally. Timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
