Plymouth Rocks

Marking the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims arriving in North America on the Mayflower, master storyteller Jane Yolen channels the voice of Plymouth Rock itself in a chronological history of this famous national monument. But does Rock needs some factchecking of its claims?
The history of Plymouth Rock is explained--by the rock itself. Playful, clever verses offer a comprehensive window into the events leading up to the 1620 landing and beyond, dispelling common misconceptions along the way. Alternating with Rock''s poems is a witty analysis of the truthfulness of its statements, told in the voice of the Factchecker. Truly a history book for today''s savvy media consumers!
