Great Book for the American Revolution

The first year I was in the Back to History program we were given the book, Storytellers History, The American Revolution by Steve Sheinken. I have been reading it aloud to my students and they love it. They are actually disappointed when I stop and ask for more. It makes the American Revolution understandable and the stories about the people involved are great. It also uses excerpts from primary sources.

    Since this is my first year in the program, I have not heard of Sheinken prior to now. Have you attempted to use any other books by this author? It appears (based on a search from Amazon) that he has published books related to King George, Westward Expansion, as well as Civil War Presidents. If Sheinken's writing excites your students, you may be able to implement multiple books by this author into the classroom throughout the year.
