How great to have an early reader that gives our children a sense of being a child during the American Revolution. In this story, young Letty and her family are going to have to flee from their home because the Redcoats are coming. Letty has to leave her pet goose, Solomon, behind. Imagine her angst. But she's a resourceful young lady and writes a note to the British soldiers asking them not to eat her beloved pet.

**********

The British are coming! Based on a remarkable true story, this unusual beginning reader will linger in the minds of all who read it.

The American Revolution is being fought in the hills around Letty Wright’s family’s farm, and the Wrights must flee to safety.

There is no time for Letty to bring Solomon the gander. Letty hopes the British don’t hurt Solomon, but hungry soldiers aren’t known for their kindness.

Eight-year-old Letty tries the only thing she can think of to save him—and is as surprised as the other colonists when it works.

An entertaining read for early-elementary units on the American Revolution.
