This book gives a brief description of how the Pilgrims came from England to Holland and across the Atlantic to the New World. I used this in my curriculum to help implement my Social Studies Theme about the New World. It brought in historical events and people and the trials that these people experienced coming to the new land. My students enjoyed the book both independently and as a whole class instruction. It was a great tool for developing vocabulary as well. I recommend this book for any 5th grade teacher teaching the history of the Pilgrims.
