Most patriotic children's books get sappy or trite ... but not this one. The words are merely the lyrics of the great song. However, the illustrations that bring those words to life create a wonderful, colorful celebration of our country, without being overly sentimental. They are so well done they stir up feelings nonetheless. When you turn the page to the fireworks over The Statue of Liberty, goosebumps are guaranteed. My kids loved the family trip across the U.S. This is Lynn Munsinger at her best! I highly recommend this book over any other I've ever seen.

This is a wonderful picture book. I am using it for second language learners during summer school. This also appeals to the musician in me. I plan to play the CD of God Bless America while showing the book to the students.

This book with its simple illustrations will allow me to teach this spiritual patriotic song to my music students.

My Toddler Montessori class loves this book. We usually start reading and singing it the beginning of the school year with very young 2 year olds. Usually by Christmas all of the children know most of the words and can sing it. Parents can not believe their child can sing this song and grandparents love it! Sorry it has gone out of print, we have purchased extra's as even board books that are really loved can not with stand more than a year with a class of 2 year olds!

Selected this book for my grandchildren since its content is nothing they'll be taught in school.

This comes with a CD of Barbra Streisand singing God Bless America - which is great (and I am not a huge Barbra fan). The illustrations are wonderful and do a great job translating the lyrics of this classic song.

What a wonderful adaptation for the younger child. The illustrations are precious, and my daughter was truly able to understand the "trip across America."
