Review: This Dover Little Activity Book features a girl paper doll named "Patience". Patience herself is on the back cover,on card weight paper. She comes with 8 outfits on glossy paper, and only one of them is the outfit we think about when we imagine a pilgrim girl. The rest of the outfits are appropriately conservative for the time period and culture. The outfits reflect different activities a pilgrim girl might participate in, and include headcoverings and accessories.

I found seeing the range of pilgrim attire to be an interesting, eye-opening experience. This is a great little book for children or adults learning about pilgrim clothing options. I hope to use it as a starting point for future Thanksgiving sewing projects; creating a pilgrim girl outfit that moves beyond the stereotype.
