Top positive review

My students, especially boys, LOVE these books. And they learn stuff too!

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019

I had never heard of these books, then my 12-year-old son and I met the author, Nathan Hale, at nErDcampMI. He was teaching a workshop on telling stories through comics and, because my son had drawn a hysterical picture of an angry piranha, he gave my son a box set of his books. My son devoured them, and then proceeded to tell me all he had learned about WWI, Harriet Tubman, and the Revolutionary War. As a middle school social studies teacher, I was impressed! I purchased a set of the books for my classroom and they are ALWAYS in the hands of one student or another - especially boys. They LOVE these books!

Made in china.

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020

It is incredibly disappointing to find fun American history books, made in China. If you’re fortunate enough to find books printed prior to 2017 than you’ll notice that they will be made in the USA. All new printed copies are made in China. Very disappointed.

My kid loves this one

My 8yo son has read each of the NHHT books multiple times. He keeps one with him wherever he goes. They can have themes that may be shocking for some, but those opened good discussions for our family. For example, _The Underground Abductor_ exposes some atrocities of slavery that I wasn't aware of. Our kid asked questions, and we talked them out.
If you have a kid who loves learning and humor and you can handle having discussions about hard stuff occasionally, then I highly recommend these books.
We have loaned a couple to friends who don't love reading for pleasure, and they also LOVED these books.

A great history lesson for kids that they will enjoy.

This book is probably more suited for 8-12 y/o than my children but even my 3,4 and 6 year old love hearing the stories. I think the interesting comic book format with the good illustration keeps their attention. As a parent I find this very refreshing to be able to teach my kids some history they probably aren't going to be taught in school, I know I was taught much about the Alamo.

Do yourself a favor and buy all of the Nathan Hales books.

My child loves this series! He has all of them & is waiting for Nathan Hale to write another! As a result of reading an earlier one in the series, he dressed up as General Jimmy Doolittle for book character day at school!

I hated history and never understood it in class growing up. Now I find it interesting and can understand it, mostly thanks to these books. My 7 year old has ADHD and struggles with reading. He loves history and loves looking at and trying to read these books. He has learned so much about history. These books are beautifully and sturdily designed. My son wants to collect them all and I am happy to help him achieve this goal.

A must for Texas History!

This should be required reading for kids learning Texas history (and really anyone visiting the Alamo). It is fun, engaging, easy to read, and makes the history come alive. His illustrations are so fun to look at. I love Nathan Hale's books and I can't wait to read more. If he ever runs out of ideas, I think he should go back to ancient history. I would love to see him tackle Attila the Hun or Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great!

Buying the rest of the series because of this book.

One of the best children's books on the history surrounding the Battle of the Alamo! It was entertaining, clever, had some cute jokes, gave a good, comprehensive overview of the people involved and the political and cultural reasons for the battle.
