The new Draw & Write books are designed to give your child drawing lessons that integrate with his history studies and penmanship. Each picture is broken down step-by-step, then presented in full color. Each picture also gives a copywork story based on the event pictured. In D&W Pilgrims, Pirates and Patriots, your student will learn to draw scenes from the 1492-1781 era, including Columbus's ship, animal scenes from Australia's Great Barrier Reef and interior, pilgrims and Squanto, a pirate, a cannon, George Washington praying, and more. This is truly a gorgeous book, and your children will learn so much through its pages! My 11 year old daughter enjoyed these. (Ages 8+) Retails for $12.50.
