This is a great 'read aloud book' for younger children who need to know about the history of our nation. I accompanied this book with D'Aulaire's, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and got so much out of them all, much more than children can be getting in the class room today. I found my children (including myself) absorbed in the book wanting to keep reading more. I had checked this book out from the library but decided I needed this great resource in our home library so ordered it. I was pleased Amazon had it available.

We purchased this book for our grandson who is British. It proved a superb explanation of the colonies with captivating illustrations to acquaint him with his heritage.

By M. Heiss
Format:Paperback
The old-fashioned illustrations are perfect for this patriotic book about the birth of liberty in America. The characters of the American Revolution come to life: Patrick Henry speaks, George Washington leads; Thomas Jefferson writes; John Adams instructs; Benjamin Franklin teases; John Hancock signs. Across America, townsmen and frontier settlers and slave holders and free men hear the news about liberty and react to it.
We love this book. Even the youngest listeners will get a true taste for the beauty of hard-fought liberty.
We also enjoy Red, White, and Boom by Lee Wardlaw and Huy Voun Lee. Red, White, and Boom!

This was another downloadable book. It arrived almost immediately after I hit submit! I just think it is a little pricey for a downloadable book.

The Fourth of July Story
This book is aptly named; it is indeed a story. The basic elements are true. Flourishes are added to make the story more accessible for a young child. Those flourishes work well. Read more

Young child cover art and older child content
The cover art appeals to a much younger reader than the text. A child who would be interested in the subject matter is going to think it is a "baby book" and NOT want to... Read more
