Imogene's Last Stand | Candace Fleming
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Meet Imogene Tripp, a plucky girl with a passion for history. As a baby, her first words were Four score and seven years ago. In preschool, she finger-painted a map of the Oregon Trail. So its not surprising that when the mayor wants to tear down the long-neglected Liddleville Historical Society to make room for a shoelace factory, Imogene is desperate to convince the town how important its history is. But even though she rides through the streets in her Paul Revere costume shouting, The bulldozers are coming, the bulldozers are coming! the townspeople wont budge. Whats a history-loving kid to do? Filled with quotes from historys biggest playersnot to mention mini-biosand lots of humor, this is the perfect book for budding historians. This girl-power story succeeds as an energeticand funnyagainst-all-odds tale. The Horn Book Magazine, Starred From the Hardcover edition.

Inspiring 4th of July Read. I particularly like that the President of the US is a Woman of Color. #ifonly #imogeneisawesome #happy4thofjuly #independence #readingresolutions @Jess7

#ReadingResolutions Day 4: I totally adored Imogene‘s sense of #Independence, spunk, and highly persuasive skills coupled with a striking can-do attitude. Know more about Imogene‘s quest to save history through flyers, picket fences, red-white-blue ribbons. Full review here: https://gatheringbooks.org/2012/04/07/ppbf-imogenes-last-stand/

#HopIntoSpring Day 18: Imogene is a budding historian whose first words as a baby were “Four score and seven years ago.” A lovely picturebook about fortitude, social justice, and standing up for what one believes in. Teachers would have a field day with this particular book as it comes with historical tidbits found in the front and back page – ranging from Vietnam War Protesters to Abraham Lincoln, #PaulRevereRides to Martin Luther King, Jr.
