have a son he in the end goes back to his mom's town and lives there and has a huge family.
Critique: This is a good biography because it teaches kids about the life that Pocahontas led, what she accomplished and all of the things she did. This book teaches kids the story of Pocahontas through pictures, and words but still makes it interesting and fun to read.

An illustrated biography of Pocahontas. One warning for sensitive readers: Some men are killed in their sleep, early in the story.

Just like with the Abe Lincoln biography there are lovely illustrations of essentially American animals, e.g., raccoons. Pocahontas's people live in houses made of bark, and Pocahontas is free to do all the things.This is why I loved the book as a child, probably. The lithographs are outstanding!

But I'm so perplexed by the fact that the Queen of England does the inviting and yet there is also a King of England. When did Pocahontas end up in England? During whose reign? I'm not going to look this up on Wikipedia, on principle. Maybe there's another book out there? I bet there is!
