Along the way, you'll meet a colorful cast of characters, from Benjamin Franklin to Napoleon Bonaparte. Don't miss this exciting story as it takes you from a fledgling young nation, to the rivers of France, and back again!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- newtab --\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eChildren reading these delightful chapter books will enjoy the story and learn a bit about a period in history. The stories frame historical periods in a way children can understand and make the lesson remarkable and unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Eclectic Homeschool Online\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eI found the books to move along at a pace that will keep the kids’ interest, while providing great historical detail in a very readable format. You can’t ask for much more of a historical fiction book. Words or concepts that may not be understood by readers are explained in a meaningful way within the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eWhen can we expect another Munford book?

Yes, a water molecule. This makes perfect sense since water cycles in various forms and is present in every time period. Why didn’t I think of this? What a clever way to transport readers back in time. Munford brings children along on his travels, teaching geography, history, science and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Maureen @ The Homeschool Village\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eWhen we received the set of books in the mail, McKenna walked off with the books and started reading them right away. She is currently reading the third book in the series and really enjoying them! We know she is absorbing the info, because we constantly hear about Munford during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Homeschool Creations Blog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eI will say that from the beginning, my 8 year old has LOVED this book. She took it with her on vacation and to her friend's house so that they could read parts of it together. She loves anything with great imagination and she was enthralled with the idea that Munford can travel all over the world and all through time as a water drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Jenilee @ Our Goodwin Journey Blog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eOne of many things that I liked about the book – as a homeschool mother – is that that each chapter has the potential to springboard into many conversations. Possibly even unit studies. In addition to geography, there is history, science, and plenty of little tidbits of interesting information that are sure to leave an impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Our Village Is A Little Different Blog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eWe began using it as a read-aloud, and found it enjoyable. It was easy to read (it’s written at an elementary reading level) with short chapters, so I could fit a little in here and there for school breaks. Then I just let my children finish the book. While very simple for the older children to read, it had enough detailed and new information in it for them. They commented several times how well-written it was, and how naturally the learning was woven in to the story. The younger children were just completely captivated by the adventures of the cute little water droplet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—The Cardamoms Pod Blog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eMy boys and I just finished reading The Adventures of Munford: Munford Meets Lewis and Clark. We thought it was wonderful. I was especially impressed that my 5 year old twins could sit through the chapters and even remember the details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—K.R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eMy daughters and I just finished reading Munford Meets Lewis and Clark. I was wondering if this is the only book in the series or if there were others written. My youngest daughter would really like to read what ever other Munford books have been written.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—L.S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- newtab --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4667\/files\/Munford_RF_Chapter_1.pdf?3148213889879207343\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMunford Meets Robert Fulton\u003c\/em\u003e sample\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- newtab --\u003ePaperback or digital (pdf)\u003c!-- newtab --\u003e5.25\" x 8\"\u003c!-- newtab --\u003e136\u003c!-- newtab --\u003e2011\u003c!-- newtab --\u003eempty","brand":"Jamie Aramini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":1261096720,"sku":"GM-M4p","price":71.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":1261096712,"sku":"GM-M4e","price":71.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback + Digital Download","offer_id":1261096728,"sku":"GM-M4pe","price":111.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook 2 Disc Set","offer_id":19464080964,"sku":"GM-M4a","price":103.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audiobook Digital Download","offer_id":19464081092,"sku":"GM-M4ae","price":103.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4667\/products\/GM-M4p.jpg?v=1464100438","url":"https:\/\/geomatters.com\/products\/munford-meets-robert-fulton","provider":"GeoMatters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
