Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Practical suggestions and advice for creating and implementing celebrations in honor of six famous Americans (Betsy Ross, Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, and George Washington) and the nation itself. Book lists, rhymes, songs, activity sheets, craft patterns, and valuable tips are offered. Many of the titles suggested are out of print and few have publication dates newer than 1997, but Dingwall includes excellent audiovisual resources and Web sites. As in other books in this series, she provides ideas for room setup and for where to purchase specialty items. A useful title for teachers and librarians.-Cathy Fithian Williams, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH
