Celebrating America's Birthday,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Fourth of July on the Plains (Hardcover)
Part of my daughter's and my July 4th celebrations every year is to watch the video "1776," not because it is the most accurate portrayal of American history, but because it at least commemorates WHY we celebrate Independence Day. My daughter enjoyed the book "A Fourth of July on the Plains" on several levels. First, the characters clearly remembered why we celebrate the 4th as they sewed a flag and gave speeches. The simplicty of the celebration also showed how people can have a great time with just the basics of good food, good fellowship, and an impromptu parade. Finally, the tale of pioneers heading west in a wagon train -- a piece of history in itself -- celebrating an even earlier era in America's past evoked a sense of continuity. It helped me show my daughter how for over 200 hundred years, generations of Americans have paid tribute to the country's founding.
