Thus begins a lyrical journey through the days and weeks, the months, and the changing seasons in the life of one New Englander and his family. The oxcart man packs his goods - the wool from his sheep, the shawl his wife made, the mittens his daughter knitted, and the linen they wove. He packs the birch brooms his son carved, and even a bag of goose feathers from the barnyard geese.
He travels over hills, through valleys, by streams, past farms and villages. At Portsmouth Market he sells his goods, one by one - even his beloved ox. Then, with his pockets full of coins, he wanders through the market, buying provisions for his family, and returns to his home. And the cycle begins again.
Donald Hall has created a gentle story, evoking a quiet time in American life that is irrevocably past. Using a special method which resembles the early American technique of painting on wood, Barbara Cooney has captured the sense of peace of early nineteenth-century New England and the bustle of Portsmouth Market.
PreS-Gr 3-This solid entry (HolidayHouse, 1992) in David Adler's picture book biography series transfers smoothly to audio. With a well-paced, precisely spoken narration by Gail Nelson, this very truncated story of the life of Harriet Tubman-from slavery to leader of the Underground Railroad-relates the struggles and the dangers she endured. Subtle background noises add to the competent storytelling and a couple of brief songs are beautifully sung. In-text quotes by Harriet Tubman are read in a different voice with a southern accent, making it seem as though Tubman is speaking. An important dates appendix is also read aloud. One side of the recording has page-turn signals. A spare, yet important audio production.- Jennifer Iserman, Dakota County Library, Burnhaven Branch, Burnsville, MN Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

A Picture Book of Harriet Tubman describes the journey Harriet Tubman went through to later be known as a "Moses" to her people. Along with her parents, Harriet Tubman was a slave owned by Edward Brodas. She repeatedly suffered from harsh punishments and was afraid one day she would be sold to a plantation further south. From her rebellious childhood to her daring escape from slavery, Harriet Tubman was a confident, fearless woman. After heading North in search of freedom, she risked her life, again and again, to lead others out of slavery, devoting herself to guiding almost three hundred individuals along the network of safe havens known as the Underground Railroad. Called "General Tubman" for her strength and bravery, Harriet went on to work as a nurse and spy for the northern army in the Civil War. She fought tirelessly for women's right to vote, and help to open a home for poor and elderly African Americans, to which she eventually retired. A Picture Book of Harriet Tubman is an excellent book for teachers to teach their students about social justice. Harriet Tubman was a slave that fought for her freedom. She knew she had the same rights as every individual whether they were black or white. She survived slavery because of her strong-will to make a change. Harriet Tubman is an excellent role model for students to learn about because she sends a message out through her struggles and journey that everyone has the ability to fight for what they believe is right. As a future teacher, I could use this book to introduce the discussion on slavery to my students. Introducing ordinary people, such as Harriet Tubman, will enable my students to recognize the changes an individual can make. Students can explore other individuals that contributed to the Civil Rights Movement. In groups, students can pick a person that fought for the rights of African Americans and each week one group can lead a discussion on that person. This book serves as an excellent introduction to how the Civil Rights Movement started. I would recommend this book for 2nd-3rd graders.
