“This lively book from the Step into Reading series accomplishes a good deal in a small space. First, it introduces the political situation in prerevolutionary Boston, the famous Tea Party, and Paul Revere, both as a craftsman and as a member of the Sons of Liberty. Next, it recounts Revere’s role in the events of April 18 and 19, 1775. Finally, it relates Revere’s postwar activities and his ride into immortality via Longfellow’s poem. Varied in composition, O’Leary’s pictures have a warm palette and a sense of boundless energy. A highly accessible introduction to Revere.” —Booklist

“[This] title tells of Revere’s involvement with the Sons of Liberty, the events leading up to his famous ride, and the ride itself, along with two legends about this celebrated event. Accurate facts and charming illustrations . . . add authenticity and character. On the last page, the famous John Singleton Copley portrait of Revere is reproduced in black and white. . . . This book is satisfying fare for independent readers not quite ready for chapter books.” —School Library Journal
