Written by Jesse Jarnow<\/p>\n

This book features six chapters on Patrick Henry. It gives a brief overview of his life and gives a very detailed account of his Liberty speech.\u00a0 I like that the book features a glossary and an index for children to use.<\/p>\n

Written by David A. Adler and Illustrated by John and Alexandra Wallner<\/p>\n

This book would appeal to younger readers. I liked the way that it told the story of Patrick Henry, but was illustrated in a cartoon like way. The pictures are very detailed and children would truly enjoy the artwork. There was an easy to follow timeline in the back of the book that the children would find helpful.<\/p>\n

This book was by far the best for children because it was broken into many small parts. It would be a great resource for children who are writing a book report or just need a little more knowledge about Patrick Henry.<\/p>\n

This is a great resource for children. This book contains actual pictures of important documents like, The Constitution, and The Virginia and Kentucky Resolution.\u00a0 This book also shows how Patrick Henry’s contributions directly helped<\/p>\n

\"Patrick<\/a><\/p>\n

Written and Illustrated by Rod Espinosa<\/p>\n

Espinosa takes a spin\u00a0 on telling history. He tells Patrick Henry’s story by using a comic strip making Patrick Henry into a real0life super hero. I enjoyed his fun take on telling the story. I also liked that he included a map of the territories, timeline, and further reading sections in the back of the book.<\/p>\n
