More great children's books about Pilgrims, Native Americans and Plymouth Colony:
Don't Know Much About the Pilgrims, by Davis
$15.99 (Davis)

Now you can discover a wealth of cool and astonishing facts about the Pilgrims.  Kenneth C. Davis delivers another outstanding picture book.  With his trademark question-and-answer format and S.D. Schindler's detailed artwork, you'll get an insider's view of the Pilgrims' life.  It wasn't easy, but they helped make America what it is today.

Who's Stepping on Plymouth Rock? by Fritz
$6.99 (soft cover)

For years, Plymouth Rock sat on the beach without getting any attention.  But in 1741, the people of Plymouth decided it was an important landmark because the Pilgrims must have stepped on it when they arrived in the New World and its adventures began.  The rock was moved, dropped, broken, moved again, and cemented back together before finally being enclosed in an impressive monument, ensuring its place as a solid piece of American history.  This book tickles as well as informs.
