(4) K-3 Who Knew? series. "Why get steaming mad over cold tea?" "What weapons did the soldiers use?" Nineteen questions are followed by simple, page-long answers, forming a loose chronology of the American Revolution. The illustrations include archival prints, but the contemporary paintings are stiff and distracting. The answers are sometimes implied rather than explicit and nuance is sacrificed for clarity, but this is an adequate introduction. Timeline.
