Grade 2-4-As in In 1492 (Scholastic, 1991), this author/illustrator collaboration shows that difficult concepts of history can be made understandable to young children. Bjorkman's watercolors steal the show here, as they give youngsters an authentic look at what it was like when the colonists rebelled against British rule. Architecture and artifacts are accurately portrayed. Colonial dress, military uniforms, and even King George's robes are rich in detail. Marzollo's verse, though sometimes stilted, is readable and carries the story along. A preface, "Helping Children Understand the American Revolution," gives background on our country's fight for independence. In 1776 deserves a place on most library shelves.
