THE PRINCESS POCAHONTAS

In a soft voice meant for children in the middle grades, Vanessa Benjamin's motherly tone and British accent tell the tale of a young Indian girl growing up during the settling of the American Colonies. With a beguiling story, the author addresses the conflict of cultures for young readers. Some of the story's word choices will help children of this age group build their vocabulary. Benjamin creates enchanting, credible, and individual voices for characters that children will love. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
