Clever retelling for children of a humorous incident during the War of 1812, in which the inhabitants of Lewes, Delaware outwit the crew of a British ship in their harbor. Their trick leads to an unsuccessful bombardment by the British. Very simple words. Blue-and-white line drawings add to the book's appeal. Based on a true incident. I HAD to read this one, since I grew up in Delaware.
