| Synopsis |
Join Willi, a jaunty little dog, on an adventure-filled journey from Jamestown where the first permanent English settlement took root, to Yorktown, where a new nation was born. Virginia's Historic Triangle is a region that encompasses Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown; historic sites connected by the Colonial Parkway and made famous by their role in American history. This book brings history alive and makes learning fun! Ask any elementary-aged child, they will tell you that history is their least favorite subject. Americans need to remedy this and WILLI GETS A HISTORY LESSON attempts to do just that! |
