Young learners are taught about the Pilgrims as very young children. However, by the time they hit the lower elementary grades, they may have questions about the idyllic stories they had heard about the Pilgrims. Why did they choose to settle in Massachusetts? Were there kids among them? And what exactly made them flee from England? In this book, readers learn the answers to these questions as well as those about the founders and founding of Plymouth Colony, including the Pilgrims. Historical images complement the straightforward main text, while graphic organizers and maps aid comprehension.
