Mr. Revere and I

Paul Revere didn't make his famous midnight ride alone. Meet a patriot unlike any other: Scheherazade, the mare who doesn't mind mentioning she was once the fastest and most admired horse in the King's army. But on arrival in America, "Sherry" is quickly let down by her British rider and recruited by Sam Adams to join the Sons of Liberty. Before long, she finds herself teamed with Raul Revere to play a key - if unnoticed - role in the American Revolution. Full of wit and wisdom, this beloved classic presents an unforgettable view to the birth of a nation - straight from the horse's mouth!

How is this not more famous? What a fun way to learn about some of the human stories behind the Revolutionary War, as well as some of the facts that I don't remember ever learning before.

The library copy I got is marked with the horses" sticker but I'm not sure fans of [a:Marguerite Henry|10652|Marguerite Henry|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1200683797p2/10652.jpg] would agree. However, they'd probably like it anyway."

Not sure of the history. No back matter. Ships named Incapable and Implausible seem especially unlikely. Very scant mention of Loyalists. No mention of slavery, even though there was a section about deserters from the British army who had been brutalized by the lash and Revere claims that in America "we don't use the lash, we are men, not animals." But it's a fun read and seems accurate enough as a supplement to a unit on the rebellion, if your child needs one.

A thoroughly amusing and enjoyable memoir of the early years of the American Revolution, as told by Paul Revere's horse. The humor is dry, and the illustrations are marvelous. Recommended for all ages.

Not as good as Ben and Me, but in the same style, Lawson tells the story of Paul Revere from the perspective of his horse.

A children's book but the humor is wonderful, and it's fun to look at things from the horse's point of view.

Sherry's master was a officer named,Sir Cedric Noel Vivian Barnstable a short guy with
