The Mayflower Facts & Jokes
by John Townsend, David Antram
OVERVIEW
Laugh as you learn all about the Mayflower’s historic voyage to America!
What was it like to be on the Mayflower as it journeyed to America in 1620? Through hilarious jokes, myth-busting trivia, and tons of fun facts, this quirky little book provides an accessible, entertaining introduction to history. It explores the hardships the pilgrims endured, conflicts with the Native American peoples who already lived in the “New World,” and the frightful fate of turkeys during the Thanksgiving celebration. Kids will enjoy learning about the difficulty of bathing (eew!), the type of food eaten on the ship, and why some folks were keen to make the break with England and start fresh.
