Great bio for kids on Paul Revere, who was a patriotic messenger with an entrepreneurial spirit.

The narrative language makes these biographies great for kids. The illustrations are always appreciated by my 4th grader.

Very interesting book. I never knew that the only reason Paul Revere is famous was from a poem that was written 50 years after he died. Additionally the poem was not accurate!

My daughter and I decided to read the Who Was/Who Is series; this is the first one I read. I like that this series is a quick way to learn a little more about people in history. Something interesting I learned is that Paul Revere fathered 16 children and had over 50 grandkids!!

The Kiddo brought this home from the school library.
This was a nice overview of Revere's life, without excessive emphasis on the "Midnight Ride", and with some good, easy-to-follow background on the Revolutionary War era in general.
The Kiddo found a lot of connections here to places he's been and to things he's learned about at school, and by the time we were done, he was asking for me to take him to see the Freedom Trail for a day next time we're in Boston. Not a bad result for a book that had to distill a lot of facts down to a manageable length for the intended reading level.

Written in a way children and others can understand and learn.
Loved the artwork that accompanied the writing. It pulled it together.
