Life on the
Mayflower presents some basic facts about the living
conditions on the Mayflower for young readers in graphic
novel format.
This text is crisply written and fully illustrated with a
low reading level
accompanied by watercolor illustrations. The inclusion of
several facts, where
to obtain more information, web sites and a
glossary/index make this a useful
research tool.
After the
importance of an informative text, the most supportive factor of
this book is visual appeal to young readers. The layout of the various pages is
diversified and well balanced between text and very
descriptive watercolor
illustrations so that concepts are grouped together. The flow and balance of
both the text and visuals are integrated to present a
very stimulating book for
both young and reluctant readers.
This book is one in the
_Thanksgiving series.
The series consists of_5_ books at this time. The
general theme of the series
is __Thanksgiving _. McNeil,
Linda
