This is a picturesque book about a young girl named Sara Morton as she goes through her day during the various duties that a young Pilgrim girl would do back in the 1620's at Plymouth Plantation.

This book is fabulous for any elementary age! Sarah Morton is a girl who lived during the time of early American settlement as a pilgrim. She is young, so the students will be able to relate to her more than they would for an adult trying to explain the same concepts. Sarah walks us through her typical days—work, learning, play, eating, dress…the works. It is interesting to compare and contrast society today compared to society when America was first being established! ( )

This is a good book for uppper level grades. It talks about the culture of pilgrims and history.

About a girl who is a pilgrim. It is ok. ( )

Sarah Morton is a character based on a real person. In this photographic story, a potential typical day for a little girl at Plymouth is recreated. Life at Plymouth is recreated in an interesting way, and many aspects of it are represented- her clothing, chores, schooling, games, etc. Because the photos are taken at Plymouth Plantation, they are clear and very realistic.

Sarah Morton's Day is a slim little picture book showing a day in the life of a Pilgrim girl on the Plymouth Colony in 1627. From the notes, I guess there's a living history museum out in Plymouth, Massachusetts where folks reenact the life of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people in those days. Sarah Morton is one of the characters and the book uses photographs of her reenactment to show readers what a typical day for a ten-year-old girl might be like. There's also a bit of a story as Sarah ponders some relationship issues with her step-father. It's an enjoyable, five-minute read for grownups, worth checking out if you want to educate your kids (or yourself) about life in the old days.
