Gr 3-6 -While the facts are accurate and clearly presented in boxes inside each picture, the dialogue is somewhat contrived and simplistic. The real problem, though, is with the art. The illustrations don't really show what happened in any detail, the colors are muted, and the pictures aren't very exciting. Considering the action taking place, these scenes are disappointing. In crowd scenes, the people are faceless, which looks strange, and in some cases almost frightening. Two pages of facts about the Tea Party are appended. An additional purchase." -Ronnie Gordon, Brooklyn Public Library, NY"
