Review:

Boston's Freedom Trail is filled with history and attracts numerous tourists yearly; so having a picture book such as Brittany Bang's Little Mouse's Adventures on the Freedom Trail, geared to ages 3 and up, invites parents and kids alike to learn about the historical importance of the Trail through the eyes of an adventurous little mouse who explores Boston's historic landmarks. Kids with basic picture book reading skills (or parental assistance) receive lovely, large-size illustrations by Caitlyn Knepka as they follow a mouse's journey through Boston Common and beyond. Through the mouse's observations, kids learn about the history of the Freedom Trail and its importance, touching upon key monuments, buildings, and their past and present history along the way. Little Mouse's Adventures on the Freedom Trail is especially recommended as a take-along tote for any parent planning a family visit to Boston, as well as for residents who want to introduce their kids to American history. These audiences, especially, will be able to follow the little mouse's exploration of the 'red line' that connects history and brings it alive; all from the perspective of a mouse's viewpoint of historical events. Highly recommended; especially for Boston residents and would-be family visitors with a special interest in history!--Diane Donovan "Donovan's Bookshelf "

About the Author:

Brittany Bang, a Boston native, is a bright, up-and-coming author, and now brings us her second book in the Little Mouse's Adventures series. Following the continued success of Little Mouse's Adventures at Fenway Park, Brittany now takes us on a journey, with Little Mouse, all throughout Boston, sharing her love for her home town and all the history and education it affords. With over ten years of sales, marketing and business management experience, she continues to combine her author talent with her corporate talent, as Manager of Marketing & New Business at 360 Public Relations. Prior to joining the agency world, Brittany worked for the Boston Red Sox in their Client Services Department, where she managed the Corporate "Legends Suite" at Fenway Park, among many other marketing responsibilities. Brittany has also worked for the Ben & Jerry's company, where she served on both the corporate and franchise level. In the spring of 2010, Brittany embarked on a new adventure and opened her own retail store on historic Newbury Street. She saw many successes over three years, including several awards for her retail business and her commitment to the local community. The highlight was being awarded one of the Top Ten Businesses in Boston by Boston Magazine for her engagement in the business community and her extensive charitable and rescue work with animals. After being forced to close Audrey's due to an extreme rent increase, Brittany took on the challenge of forming her own non-profit, Audrey's Rescue Angels. She authored and self-published a coffee table book, Rescue Pets of Boston. 100% of the book's proceeds go directly back to animal charities. Brittany is an ambassador for "shopping locally" and the significant role small businesses play in the community. She and her husband, Brad, are the parents to Jackson, their dog, Kendall, two cats, Yogi and Tess, and a chinchilla, Bella.
