From Booklist There are a lot of things wrong with Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims. But, first, the good news: mostlyâ€"with some exceptionsâ€"dates, names, and places aren’t a problem. Context, however, is in the eyes of the beholder. But let’s begin with the opening author’s note. After offering a wide-ranging definition of American exceptionalism that begins with the statement that the U.S. is a “land built on true freedom and individual liberty, and it defends both around the world,†Limbaugh goes on to explain that the Founders believed all people were born to be “free as individuals.†Really? All people? That should give anyone pause who knows something about history. Then it’s on to the narrative. The book’s premise is that a substitute history teacher, Rush Revere, who dresses like his hero, Paul, along with his talking horse, Liberty, can go back in time. This takeoff on the Magic School Bus and Magic Tree House series has none of their charm. The text is wordy, and many of the pages are spent on the banter between Rush and Liberty, occasionally amusing but mostly just filling space, as do the tedious explanations of the way time travel works. The actual historical episodes are marked by commentary. For instance, Rush Revere watches the passengers on the Mayflower and notes that “the hardship they experienced . . . is something modern-day people will seldom, if ever, experience. . . . They hadn’t been spoiled by wall-to-wall carpets, central heating and microwave ovens.†The fact that many modern-day people do experience incredible hardships, albeit different from the Pilgrims, seems not to have occurred to Limbaugh. And let’s not forget the cross-branding. The images of Rush Revere throughout the book are the same as Limbaugh’s logos used on his Two if by Tea website, where he sells, yes, tea. The book ends with the first Thanksgiving. Apparently, the turnaround for the struggling colony came “when every family was assigned its own plot of land to work.†Rush Revere drives home the point that it was after the Pilgrims stopped sharing the profits that success was ensured. Even Squanto adds, “No more slaves to the Common House.†As for factual inaccuracies, Paul Revere never said, “The British are coming!†That was Mr. Longfellow. Despite the book’s numerous shortcomingsâ€"as history, as fiction, as comedyâ€"it will generate demand in some libraries, thanks to the author’s celebrity. Order only as that demand dictates.

Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans by Rush Limbaugh
Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans by Rush Limbaugh is My kids love this book. I was reluctant to get it when my husband said he heard about it but he was convincing and it was the right call. I personally would give it 4 stars because I dislike some of the negativity that often seems to creep into books (like the boy talking about his inner "nerd" because he likes science and the discrepancy between him playing on the football team but enjoying intellectual/academic pursuits as well). Just isn't necessary in my opinion. But my 5yo girl and 7yo boy love it so much it doesn't seem fair to deduct a star. Even my 3yo is interested because there's a talking horse and occasionally silliness (like the horse snotting on a guy and another fella getting puked on- I know but that's what keeps them interested). We also appreciate the visual presentation. The pictures are great. Beautiful color and some have descriptions which my kids like. I'm glad we bought the hardcover. I haven't seen any other version so I can't say if it's substantially different but the hardcover version is very visually appealing.
Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans by Rush Limbaugh is This is the very first installment of the excellent "Rush Revere" time-travel adventure series of books. Though it's written for children, adults will love it too. It's a fun and refreshing way to discover American history as Rush and his very special time-traveling horse Liberty take you and some friends to meet and interact with famous people and events in our history. This particular book sets the scene for all of the books that follow, so I would read it first. These books also make excellent gifts for any birthday or holiday, either singly or as a set, so you can't go wrong!

Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans by Rush Limbaugh is I am a senior adult and I enjoyed reading this book. It is written for upper elementary children. I heard about this book in the beauty shop from a retired public school teacher. She was right! It was very interesting historically and quite imaginative with the time travel and talking horse. I'm making a list of the children that will get this book for Christmas (in a hard copy).It was particularly interesting to me because I descend from Stephen Hopkins who was named dropped here. He brought his second wife, Elizabeth, who gave birth to Oceanans during the trip. He also brought three of his other children, Constance, Giles and Demaris. Constance was the child I descended from.
