This book will work for showing primary age students what pilgrims wore when they first came to the New World. But in later grades (still in elementary school), students study the American Revolution, and the language and illustrations are too young for such a study. The limited vocabulary is somewhat redundant because it explains the meaning of the word just after using it in such a way that it is clear what it means. I think kids will be bored. Did colonists have clothes that were pink, red, green and blue? When did the king allow them to make their own cloth? This book will work for the young and the curious, but not for students who are actually studying that time period.
