|
Children will have fun with history as they time-travel with two ravens, Peck and Tally, to the War of 1812. A storm deposits them on a barn roof. Surveying their surroundings, they realize they are no longer in present day Annapolis but on Dr. Beanes’s farm in the midst of a war. The two ravens develop a friendship with Dr. Beanes. When the British arrest him, Peck, the more courageous of the two, uses his cunning and intelligence to assist his friend. Tally, Peck’s faithful companion, follows Peck as they spy on Redcoats and disrupt their plans. Her obsession with food places the ravens in precarious situations that Peck has to solve. Follow this pair of ravens as they harass British warships on the Chesapeake Bay, create a commotion with unwanted guests at Dolley Madison’s dinner party, and eventually assist Francis Scott Key. Peck and Tally will capture your heart as you fly through historical events and gain some tidbits about ravens along the way.
