America’s #1 radio talk-show host and multi-million-copy #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a book for young readers with a history teacher who travels back in time to have adventures with exceptional Americans.

MEET RUSH LIMBAUGH’S REALLY GOOD PAL, RUSH REVERE!

Okay, okay, my name’s really Rusty—but my friends call me Rush. Rush Revere. Because I’ve always been the #1 fan of the coolest colonial dude ever, Paul Revere. Talk about a rock star—this guy wanted to protect young America so badly, he rode through those bumpy, cobblestone-y streets shouting “the British are coming!” On a horse. Top of his lungs. Wind blowing, rain streaming...

Well, you get the picture. But what if you could get the real picture—by actually going back in time and seeing with your own eyes how our great country came to be? Meeting the people who made it all happen—people like you and me?

Hold on to your pointy triangle hats, because you can—with me, Rush Revere, seemingly ordinary substitute history teacher, as your tour guide across time! “How?” you ask? Well, there’s this portal. And a horse. My talking horse named Liberty. And—well, just trust me, I’ll get us there.

We’ll begin by joining a shipload of brave families journeying on the Mayflower in 1620. Yawn? I don’t think so. 1620 was a pretty awesome time, and you’ll experience exactly what they did on that rough, dangerous ocean crossing. Together, we’ll ask the pilgrims all our questions, find out how they live, join them at the first Thanksgiving, and much more.

So saddle up and let’s ride! Our exceptional nation is waiting to be discovered all over again by exceptional young patriots—like you!

From Booklist

There are a lot of things wrong with Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims. But, first, the good news: mostly—with some exceptions—dates, names, and places aren’t a problem. Context, however, is in the eyes of the beholder. But let’s begin with the opening author’s note. After offering a wide-ranging definition of American exceptionalism that begins with the statement that the U.S. is a “land built on true freedom and individual liberty, and it defends both around the world,” Limbaugh goes on to explain that the Founders believed all people were born to be “free as individuals.” Really? All people? That should give anyone pause who knows something about history. Then it’s on to the narrative. The book’s premise is that a substitute history teacher, Rush Revere, who dresses like his hero, Paul, along with his talking horse, Liberty, can go back in time. This takeoff on the Magic School Bus and Magic Tree House series has none of their charm. The text is wordy, and many of the pages are spent on the banter between Rush and Liberty, occasionally amusing but mostly just filling space, as do the tedious explanations of the way time travel works. The actual historical episodes are marked by commentary. For instance, Rush Revere watches the passengers on the Mayflower and notes that “the hardship they experienced . . . is something modern-day people will seldom, if ever, experience. . . . They hadn’t been spoiled by wall-to-wall carpets, central heating and microwave ovens.” The fact that many modern-day people do experience incredible hardships, albeit different from the Pilgrims, seems not to have occurred to Limbaugh. And let’s not forget the cross-branding. The images of Rush Revere throughout the book are the same as Limbaugh’s logos used on his Two if by Tea website, where he sells, yes, tea. The book ends with the first Thanksgiving. Apparently, the turnaround for the struggling colony came “when every family was assigned its own plot of land to work.” Rush Revere drives home the point that it was after the Pilgrims stopped sharing the profits that success was ensured. Even Squanto adds, “No more slaves to the Common House.” As for factual inaccuracies, Paul Revere never said, “The British are coming!” That was Mr. Longfellow. Despite the book’s numerous shortcomings—as history, as fiction, as comedy—it will generate demand in some libraries, thanks to the author’s celebrity. Order only as that demand dictates. Grades 4-7. --Ilene Cooper --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

My kids love this book

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

My kids love this book. I was reluctant to get it when my husband said he heard about it but he was convincing and it was the right call. I personally would give it 4 stars because I dislike some of the negativity that often seems to creep into books (like the boy talking about his inner "nerd" because he likes science and the discrepancy between him playing on the football team but enjoying intellectual/academic pursuits as well). Just isn't necessary in my opinion. But my 5yo girl and 7yo boy love it so much it doesn't seem fair to deduct a star. Even my 3yo is interested because there's a talking horse and occasionally silliness (like the horse snotting on a guy and another fella getting puked on- I know but that's what keeps them interested). We also appreciate the visual presentation. The pictures are great. Beautiful color and some have descriptions which my kids like. I'm glad we bought the hardcover. I haven't seen any other version so I can't say if it's substantially different but the hardcover version is very visually appealing.

Rush And Liberty Visit Plymouth Rock!

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the very first installment of the excellent "Rush Revere" time-travel adventure series of books. Though it's written for children, adults will love it too. It's a fun and refreshing way to discover American history as Rush and his very special time-traveling horse Liberty take you and some friends to meet and interact with famous people and events in our history. This particular book sets the scene for all of the books that follow, so I would read it first. These books also make excellent gifts for any birthday or holiday, either singly or as a set, so you can't go wrong!

I am not a fan of this book. I think it's silly and not very well written BUT it is not for adults. That being said, my 10 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it. And since it was written for her age group I had to give it 5 stars. She loved the talking horse and the funny pictures of Rush. As soon as she finished it she asked me to buy her the next one in the series.

Review for a Mayflower descendant

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am a senior adult and I enjoyed reading this book. It is written for upper elementary children. I heard about this book in the beauty shop from a retired public school teacher. She was right! It was very interesting historically and quite imaginative with the time travel and talking horse. I'm making a list of the children that will get this book for Christmas (in a hard copy).

It was particularly interesting to me because I descend from Stephen Hopkins who was named dropped here. He brought his second wife, Elizabeth, who gave birth to Oceanans during the trip. He also brought three of his other children, Constance, Giles and Demaris. Constance was the child I descended from.

Historical refresh!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

Even though Rush's Liberty series is geared towards those of the 8-12 year range, as a woman of her mid 50's, I enjoyed this first book immensely to say the least!

The voyage of the Mayflower and subsequent settlement "in the New World" was well taught when I was in school as a child, but this book allowed me to view the key players more as "people" than I recall feeling all those years back!

Rush definitely let me transport back in time, and too feel what those times were like, their fears, loves, struggles and triumphs, not to mention the initial tensions felt with the initial encounters with the natives (Indians) of their new land.

Bravo!!!!! And of course, Thanks for an excellent write!!!!

This is a great book! I just read it to my seven year old daughter. Some of the jokes and commentary are a little over her head, but she loved the story nonetheless and has asked me to get the next book in the series! We will start reading that one tomorrow night. Not only that, but now she is playing with her Lego characters, and having them play the roles of Rush Revere, Tommy, Freedom, William Bradford, Myles Standish, Squanto, Samoset, and Liberty!

The factual story of the brave Pilgrims - for a young audience.

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought this product for a nephew but I admit I had to read it myself. Rush Limbaugh has created a very good history of the story of the Puritans (also known as the "Pilgrims") who came to the North American continent in order to have the kind of religious freedom they were denied at home in England.

Mr. Limbaugh's research is excellent and portrays the Pilgrims faithfully to the factual history of both their story and the period. The author does an excellent job of not only showing all the pitfalls and tragedies encountered by the Puritans but also their Christian faith as the key to their perseverance and ultimate victory in survival and success in creating their colony.

I admit I was often put off by some of the "Bart Simpson" humor ("I wasn't there! You can't prove it!") but I watched my young nephew read through some of those passages and watched him smile to himself and often laugh. Mr. Limbaugh tailored his prose and the type of humor to his target audience - kids. I think he hit the nail on the proverbial head!

I do recommend this book not only because of it's faithful retelling of the true facts but also because it's put into a format and with a tone that kids will enjoy. Five stars.

A MASSIVE Hit With My Ten Year Old!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm an expat, and I try to keep an eye peeled for good books that help my son keep in touch with his American heritage. I had NO idea that Rush Limbaugh had written novels for children - but my son likes time travel stories - and since he's outgrown "The Magic Tree House" novels, I thought we'd give this a try. I ordered the book on CD so that it would be a "treat" rather than a history assignment.

I expected "It was O.K., Mother" - but no. I can't tell you how many times my son has listened to this book since I bought it for him. Mr. Limbaugh may not be the best "actor" in the world - but he is clearly passionate about his subject - and I think that is enormously appealing to kids. My son (who has no idea of Mr. Limbaugh's "day job" or politics) is delighted to have found a new author and eagerly awaits each volume in the series.

What better recommendation can I offer than this: the day the most recent audiobook came - my son asked if he could listen to it straight after he finished his homework. No sports, no games - he dashed (rushed, ;) ) right upstairs to listen to Rush Revere.

As to the tone - the goal here is to instill in kids a renewed pride in the Founding Fathers of America. I'd have made a rubbish Puritan, but one can't deny the bravery of those men and women who set out from Europe in search of a better life.

So many books for kids these day are full of guilt and recrimination - but in my experience kids don't LIKE those books - and frankly, I'm troubled by the trend to make little ones feel guilty about everything wrong in the world. By contrast, the Rush Revere novels are POSITIVE, we-can-do-it books - and I (somewhat begrudgingly, if I'm to be honest) give this series a big thumbs up.

If you're unsure, try the Audio CDs - they are unabridged, so you get the whole story - and Mr. Limbaugh reads with great enthusiasm.

Interesting, very interesting. No matter what you think of Rush you should read his historical series of books, because he is attempting to turn back the clock and take a more traditional look at America's past.
