Search in google:
Young Samuel Eaton has hardly slept from excitement! Today he will do a man's work--helping with his first rye harvest. But as his hands become blistered and the sun beats down, he wonders if he's up to the task. An American Bookseller Pick of the Lists with more than 23,000 hardcover copies sold. Full color.Children's LiteraturePlimouth Plantation, the outdoor, living-museum of 17th century Plymouth, Massachusetts, is the locale where Mr. Kendall photographed first Amanda Poole as Sarah (in Sarah Morton's Day), then Roger Burns as Samuel, as they and their colleagues dressed, work, and spoke like the Pilgrims of 1627. Photos and a first-person-singular narrative provide historical verisimilitude. Use a comparison of nine-year-old Sarah's, seven-year-old Samuel's and your elementary-school students' clothes, homes, and sunup-to-sundown activities to stimulate a lively class discussion.
