5.0 out of 5 stars My Country Tis of Thee - Does Country Justice, October 23, 2007

This review is from: My Country, 'Tis of Thee (Paperback)

For those parents who have forgotten some of the words to this inspirational song or for children who are learning this song or want to know more about the meaning of "My Country Tis of Thee" words, I would recommend this book.

There are pictures, paintings and real-life photographs throughout the book, depicting significant events in U.S. history. One example, when versed "Land of the Pilgrim's Pride", we see paintings of what I would presume to be the Mayflower (distinctly recalling the sight of it) and another painting of Pilgrims setting foot on land.

There are depictions of voters, mountains, U.S. flags, the Liberty Bell, the Bill of Rights and just about anything American.

It is a short book. It hasn't any descriptions of the pictures, just the words to this song.

This review is from: My Country, 'Tis of Thee (Paperback)

I am a public school music specialist in an early childhood learning center. I teach 3 and 4 yr old children. In this day and age, literacy is very important and mandatory, even in our curriculum. The children love pictures and these pictures have so many words. This book has the children wondering about our beautiful country and how vast it truly is.

This review is from: My Country, 'Tis of Thee (Paperback)

I bought this book as a gift for my master teacher. Every morning she sings a patriotic song with her class and she likes to hold up a book with the words while they sing, so this book does the job. It is a pretty weak paperback, but you get what you pay for. It's nice that is has the whole song and not just the first couple of verses that everyone knows.
