You Wouldn't Want to Be at the Boston Tea Party!: Wharf Water Tea, You'd Rather Not Drink

You Wouldn't Want to Be at the Boston Tea Party!: Wharf Water Tea You'd Rather Not Drink - Peter   Cook, David Antram, David Salariya, Sophie Izod Readers are invited to imagine themselves as the fictional George Robert Tweleves Hewes, a middle-aged Bostonian. The chapters follow George as he becomes an active participant in the Boston Tea Party. Each 2 page explains a single event that led otherwise law abiding citizens to rise up against the British government. While the dominant viewpoint is that of the Patriot, the author does explain the actions of the British. Page content is half text, half images. The cartoon like illustrations are bright, colorful, expressive. A 'Handy Hint' highlights important information that George will want to be aware of, such as 'Throw away any red clothes, in case you're mistaken for a redcoat!' Additional reference aids include glossary and index.
