Playful Pocahontas Seeks Peace

This book is sure to capture a young child's interest. The life of Pocahontas is beautifully illustrated with art and full-color photographs. This is an easy-to-read story for children who are beginning to read alone. It will help your child develop their reading skills, general knowledge and love of reading. In Level Two: There are information boxes filled with fun facts, an index and longer sentences with increased vocabulary. So, what did I learn? That Pocahontas was given the English name Rebecca! Pocahontas is a nickname that means "playful" and her real name was Matoaka What children might not enjoy learning? That she didn't marry John Smith, yet there is a surprise ending. Children will learn that Pocahontas helped encouraged peace between the settlers and Indians and that a statue now stands in Gravesend, England where Pocahontas is buried. ~The Rebecca Review
