Have you ever wished you could travel back in time? Well, so does Colton! So, he decided to invent a way to make time travel possible.

As much as I enjoy writing the Colton's Pocket Dragon books, I also wanted to create another magical series continuing these stories, which would give young readers a little knowledge of history. In the Colton's Time Machine books, Colton will build a time machine and then travel back in time to important events and meet famous people. The places, events, facts, dates and people were researched and used as true to the best of my knowledge.

I hope you will enjoy reading and learning along with the dragons while Colton teaches them history.

Are your children or child into dragons? Colton's Time Machine is a spin-off of Colton's Pocket Dragons. I have another decent book about Colton and his dragon friends to read and learn about history.

In this book, "Colton's Time Machine: Lincoln, Edison and Wright Brothers," we are taken back in time to see Lincoln and learn about his unique Gettysburg address. Colton and his dragon friends help write his speech. At the same time, Lincoln tells some stories to the dragons.

Each chapter talks about a different historical figure. Edison is next. This one is about his invention of the light bulb and how we started electricity. It was not all that impressive about Edison, but that was probably me. I am not all that into learning about the light bulb. You child or children might be. We understand the history of the light bulb and many of Edison's inventions that we use today or throughout the years.

Last but not least is the Wright Brothers. This one is more fun and interesting than Colton, and his dragon friends do and enjoy. If you or your child is a fan of transportation or airplanes, they will love this part of the book. They are learning how we got started on planes and who invented them. This story is a bit more entertaining.

Children will love this book if they are into inventions or want to be an inventor. They will still learn about the stories that started it all for the things we have in today's world.

I enjoyed the story of Colton and his first pocket dragon. Is your child or children into dragons or enjoy reading about dragons? This book starts with a little boy and how he feels his life is boring and nothing is exciting.

We get introduced to Colton. He finds an egg and wants to take care of it. How do you take care of an egg, but it is not a bird egg? What kind of egg is it? We meet a little dragon and his name is "Kolta." The adventures start once this little egg hatches.

Dragonland is where most of the adventure takes place once Kolta and Colton go to visit. Will we find Kolta's parents? Colton does not want to see Kolta leave and stay in Dragonland. But will Colton understand and know his friend will be back?

Children will learn about taking care of an egg and raising a dragon. Children will also learn about letting go and know that they need to live with their parents just as dragons need to live with their parents once Colton helps raise his new friend Kolta.

The pictures remain done well. They are bright. What will happen when Colton finds a new egg that is white with red spots? It seems Colton is starting to collect some pocket dragons. Colton and Kolta are in Dragonland, exploring and trying to find Kolta's parents. They run into different situations. Will Kolta help Colton out of some of the problems. What adventures will they get themselves into, and will Kolta's dad save Colton from the most dangerous dragon monster?

As Colton was going to sit down, he looked at the map on the wall. "That's it! I'm going to visit Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams from our first visit, when we sat in on the making of the 'Declaration of Independence.'" He sat down in the chair, picked up the history book, and flipped through the pages until he found 'Thomas Jefferson. He read his biography then said, "We have a lot in common, he's an inventor like me." Then, he turned some more pages until he found John Adams. "Lets see: Adams was a farmer, lawyer and he spent several years in France. I bet he has some freat stories to tell us." Then,he turned the page to Benjamin Franklin, who was another inventory and few a kite in an electrical storm. Colton got up and went over to the map on the wall. he traded the green pins for red ones and put green ones on Charlottesville, Virginia, for Thomas Jefferson, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for John Adams, and another on Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Benjamin Franklin. Then he left the tree house and went into his house for the night.

Colton and his friends go on adventures to meet three historical figures. Each one is detailed and done well. Children will learn a bit of history about Thomas Jefferson, John Adam, and Benjamin Franklin. The way Colton deals with some of the antics the dragons do. It is enjoyable and teachable to any child or children. Children will be smiling and learning history lessons through the book; Not all but some American critical historical events.

Each chapter is separated for each prominent historical figure. The pictures are bright and fun to look at. It seems like Colton is teaching some dragons about sharing and asking to use things. There seem to be some life lessons through the book as well as some history.

Teachers and parents alike will want to add this series to their classroom or even their child or children's bookshelves. This series is a spin-off to Colton's Pocket Dragons. Suitable for children to learn about American history and the importance of democracy.
