I picked this book because even though I have heard of his name, I did not know why he was a historical figure. Although this book answered my question, "Who is Davy Crockett?" I think it was a bit overwhelming to follow. There were so many dates and facts about his life that it could be hard for children to absorb. I followed his journey from a young, hard working boy to a man that was loved and respected by many people. His life consisted of working on farms, starting a family, serving in wars, and participating in politics. When and how he was killed is up for debate, but his legend grew regardless. I think that, although it is a more challenging read, children could pull the important details out of the book. My favorite aspect about this book is on the last page there is "Important Dates" listed with nine dates and what events took place on them. This was a very interesting book about the life of Davy Crockett. Before reading this book I didn't know much about him. It was very interesting to see that stories of him are mostly tall tales. It was also interesting to see how he was so involved in the government. I would have never thought that he would have been involved with the government with the way he lives his life. It was a wonderful story and it would be best for older children to read. The older students would be able to get a lot more knowledge and facts from this book than younger children. The book also had a lot of beautiful pictures that help capture the moment and the pictures help younger children follow along with the story. Unlike the legendary versions of David Crockett, this picture book biography depicts the true events of his life. Although Crockett was not the "half horse, half alligator, with a touch of snapping turtle," he claimed to be, he was quite the frontiersmen who loved to tell stories. He also proved his value as soldier, judge, and member of the House of Representatives. After his presidential run in 1835 ended in defeat, Crockett took on a new adventure by moving to San Antonio, Texas. Crockett later fought and died at the Alamo, but his legend lived on. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
