Big Bad Ironclad!: A Civil War Tale by Nathan Hale
5.0
- This was another hilarious and educational tale! I loved it!
- I really like that Nathan Hale (the spy) is still telling stories to the hangman and the redcoat. It's like Scheherezade telling stories to the king to stay alive.
- I didn't know there were naval battles in the Civil War! That is really cool.
- William Cushing was the best part of this book. He was hilarious and awesome! I love that he was a forerunner for the Navy Seals. I want to go research this guy some more.
- The Lego instructions are at the end are gut busting funny.
- I like the color and lack of color. The last book used red, and this one uses blue.
- The author took some liberties with the characters, but I thought he did a good job keeping the history straight. My favorite "liberty" was the fox.
- Hale's illustrations are simple, but he does a good job of getting a lot out of each frame.
