Since this book is nonfiction, writing a review about it is considerably harder than those for fiction books. The book goes into short information about many different women who did something to help out in the Revolutionary War. One of the more famous names in the book, someone you might have heard of, is Betsy Ross. Betsy was the seamstress of America s first flag. Her story, along with the stories of many other heroines, are in Patriots in Petticoats: Heroines of the American Revolution.  

The short stories are extremely easy to read, so this book didn't take me very long to read. I wouldn't want to read it for fun, but it was really informative and quite simple. It was easy to remember what I'd read and keep the facts straight in my head, which is one reason this book would be good for a report on the American Revolution.  

Another reason is that the print is large, and nearly every page has at least one sizable picture.
I would recommend Patriots in Petticoats: Heroines of the American Revolution to any girl in the second to fourth grade, since it is a girl power type of book. It seems like it would be about a third grade reading level, too, so that would make it appropriate for children of those grades. Also, these kids would need to be interested in the revolutionary war topic to enjoy this book at all. It wasn't very exciting, but it kept my attention enough for me to not be completely bored reading it. I can't completely say I disliked it, but it definitely wouldn't be on my list of books to read.
