With the addition of Tom (annoyingly independent), the author reminds us of characteristics that gave John Hancock, Paul Revere, George Washington, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson the talents to play the parts that were so important in the process of independence for our country. Students will be interested in the true/false page that illuminates details from the book.JPG&B

http://www.mrsp.com/  Mrs. P.com Magic Library

On this site, an actress (from the Drew Carey Show) sits beside a virtual fireplace and reads stories aloud. The bookshelf from which a story is chosen by the listener has different genres. I particularly like the LOL section. Wait until you hear what Mrs. P did when she met the Queen of England! Students will enjoy this reader whose accent is a bit different from South Mississippi.
