Illustrated by
Greg Harlin.
This picture book retells the story of the American patriot's famous horseback ride. It is illustrated with dramatic, often panoramic paintings that are dark and foreboding, but also luminous, as befits such a "symbolic moment" for our country. Although the events are well known, Krensky's writing is clear and detailed and make this a good fit for the classroom.
