Boston Tea Party by Pamela Edwards (done in a "The House that Jack Built" format) ~ this was a favorite with the 4 year old
Paul Revere's Ride: The Landlords Tale - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, illustrated!
Let It Begin Here! Lexington and Concord <-- informative and VERY engaging!
The Little Maid of Ticonderoga <-- a freebie for kindle. This was an awesome chapter book that captivated my boys even though it was about a little girl who helped Ethan Allan.
We DO NOT recommend: George vs. George for younger children. It touches on how the patriots raped women and goes into detail on scalping indians and making leggings out of the skin of dead indians. I did not want my young children exposed to this. There were parts of the book that were informative and it might be an ok book to use with older children.
