"In 1776" is a wonderful historical fiction picture book that is written by Jean Marzollo and illustrated by Steve Bjorkman. This is an excellent book that describes how the colonists declared their independence from Great Britain in 1776. The text throughout the entire book is rhyming and helps with the read of the book. The story not only discusses the leaders between the two countries and their different accomplishments, but it also discrbes the soliders and civilians that were invovled in the battle. I believe that this book would be a great resource to students from third to fifth grade. I believe that the author did a great job of sparking an interest for more exploration of this battle.
