Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

From National Geographic, Goerge vs George is a GREAT, longer than a picture book, read-aloud that explains the American Revolution from "both sides". We really liked this one as it explains that George III wasn't quite the tyrant he's sometimes portrayed and that George W may legitimately be considered a traitor from the other side.

The pictures are fun and the information very detailed. I especially liked the "afterword" where you learn what happened to George III (and that his "insanity" was caused by a disease now known as porphyria)

We love this book, too, Mary!

We bought it in Boston at Fanuiel (SP?)Hall on our cross-country trip. I just could not leave it there in the stall.

Thank you for the recommendation - I've just requested it from our library.
