Civil War On Sunday (Magic Tree House #21) Review
User Submitted Civil War On Sunday (Magic Tree House #21) ReviewsNovember 25, 2008 Really helping my 8 year old son to love reading!!! I have an eight year old, third grade son who up till now has very much struggled with reading. This is the second Magic Tree House book he has read and we are doing so well with it. This book is a chapter book but also has pictures, it is just perfect for a beginner chapter book. My son checked it out from the school library as part of thier Accelerated Reader program. I found some chapter quizzes out there on the internet that really help to reinforce comprehension. This story is interesting too, covering the Civil war, slavery, and Clara Barton. We were able to tie this story into current events also, at one point Jack (one of the main characters) is talking to an African American soldier who is fighting against slavery. He asks the soldier where his family is and the soldier tells him that his family was sold years ago. One of the things Clara Barton tells Jack he should do is give hope and comfort to the soldiers...so anyway Jack tells this soldier that his fight is worthwhile, that his grandchildren and great grandchildren will be doctors and lawyers and work in government. My son and I were able to connect this to today and the election of Barack Obama. So my son is really excited because he is able to read these books, he finds them interesting, he is learning about history and he is finally having some success in reading. Thank you Mary Pope Osborne. This is just what he needed. As someone who is always there reading with him I find this book interesting too. January 7, 2007 MY BOY LOVES READING My 1st grader hates to put it down, he would rather read Magic Tree House books, than play video games. He even reads them to his class and explains the story for show and tell. In his kindergarten class the teacher would also let him read the Magic Tree House books out loud, not to give her a break, but to promote reading out loud. Great books! February 26, 2006 The Real Life Books I liked Civil War on Sunday because they helped America's first nurse named Clara Barton. I liked when they rescued the drummer boy from the war. The author did a very good job writing the book. That is why I have a lot of Magic Tree House Books. January 20, 2006 CIVIL WAR ON SUNDAY THIIS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK MY FAVORITE PART IS WHERE JAKE AND ANNIE SAVE THE DRUMMER BOY. December 31, 2005 best of the series If you are looking for a book that explain the Civil War and the pros and cons from each side, please go else where. The book has a Northern slant since Jack and Annie as behind Union lines. Book has a different feel to it and gets away from some the fantasy stories lines for a refreshing change of pace. Enjoy! August 11, 2005 Great Reading Civil War On Sunday is a Great book and educational. My grandson and I love reading all of these books. April 5, 2005 Yet Another Politically Correct Civil War Story This book presents the Civil War as being waged by the evil Confederate empire for the sole purpose of enslaving the African race. No mention is made of Lincoln's plan to send the freed slaves back to Africa after the war, nor of ANY other issues which led to the war. The parts about John Clem and Clara Barton were interesting, though. July 10, 2003 .Adventure I'm a 2nd grader. I loved reading the Magic Tree House. It was an adventure.
