Colonial Life Rainbow

BOOK CHALLENGE:  COLONIAL LIFE RAINBOW

This book challenge will have you reading a rainbow of books about colonial life and Thanksgiving!  Here are ten books that go along with this theme.  To meet the challenge you must read three colonial life books and they each must have a different color.  Here are ten suggested books, but you can read other books on this theme too:

Red:  Thanksgiving by Trudi Strain Trueit (available on Bookflix)

Orange:  Squanto and the First Thanksgiving by Joyce K. Kessel

Orange:  Finding Providence:  The Story of Roger Williams by Avi

Yellow:  Sarah Morton's Day:  A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Girl by Kate Waters

Yellow:  Samuel Eaton's Day:  A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Boy by Kate Waters

Green:  'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey

Green:  10 Fat Turkeys by Tony Johnston

Blue:  Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano

Purple:  Thanksgiving on Thursday by Mary Pope Osborne

Purple:  My America:  Our Strange New Land:  Elizabeth's Jamestown Colony Diary by Patricia Hermes

You can read these books at home or in class.  Just remember to put them on your reading log!  Almost all of these books can be found in either the Morris Plains or the Morris County Library and many of them are available in our classroom.  

Use the comments section to make comments, ask questions, or tell us other great colonial life books you've read.

Happy reading,
