    About this audiobook

    Old poems of exciting events for the children in all of us.

    Paul Revere's exciting midnight ride to warn all the neighbors in the countryside that the British were coming ... one light if by land and two if by sea.

    And The Pied Piper of Hamelin...got rid of the pesty hated rats, but when the villagers refused to pay for his services, the Pied Piper took matters into his own hands...and the villagers paid a very dear price, indeed, in the end.

      The book is in a form of a poem from the night Paul Revere road into town to warn people that the British were coming. ITs a great way to retell the story about America's history. The poem is beautiful and you can place yourself there, waiting to hear the gunshot. Perfect book to read when learning about American's History.

      The famous Paul Revere's Ride began in Boston on the night of April 18, 1775. Paul had a plan to warn the people that the British was coming. He had a plan with a friend to tell him if they were coming from land or boat he would warn him by lighting up lanterns.Paul is ready to go when he sees the signal and goes to warn the countryside people that the British are coming by sea. He shouts and lets everyone know so they can prepare for what is to come. Paul Revere's ride is an important part of our history. I really like how they were able to make a children's book about it.
    • 3/5
      This is another great version of Paul Revere's Ride. I really like the pictures in this book. I have another Paul Revere poetry book in my collection, but I like that this one is different.
    • 5/5
      An epic poem long to be remembered by my generation. Many of us memorized it in elementary school and can still repeat portions of it today. I used it in the American History class i taught while student teaching at Westview HS in Beaverton in 2000. Longfellow is well-known and loved by many for his poetry, including myself.
    • 3/5
      The time honored classic poem of Paul Revere's infamous trek is presented with an illustrative style which fits with the colonial verses. Brightly colored depictions of the British attack on American colonists adds an innocent sheen to Longfellow's historically significant poem.
    • 3/5
      This book is a poetry book about Paul Revere's ride. It tells about how he instructed someone to hand lanterns in the bell tower to show him how the British were proceeding and how he rode from town to town spreading the news.I found this book a little hard to follow. Maybe after reading it a few times I will find the pattern of flow. This book could be used to teach poetry or to read for a historical lesson.
    • 4/5
      This is a poem of a commonly known American figure and event. I enjoyed learning about Paul Revere more from this poem than I ever had in any American history class. I think this would be good to pair with a lesson on Paul Revere in a high school American history class. High school kids like poems, too.
    • 4/5
      This is an epic poem that I remember memorizing in 5th grade. The book has paintings throughout it and maps that are accurate from the time period. It is great for history.
