Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Reviewed with Debbie L. Yanuck's The Liberty Bell.
K-Gr. 2. Books in the American Symbols series introduce children to a variety of topics relating to U.S. history and patriotism. In The Pledge of Allegiance, Nobleman describes Francis Bellamy's creation of the loyalty oath in 1892 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus' voyage and how it has changed, including its addition to the U.S. Flag Code and traditional recitation in schools across the country. Generously illustrated, mostly in color, with photographs, charts, and maps, the texts are brief and to the point; print size is large, and each chapter is confined to a double-page spread. Liberty Bell is a simple history of the icon, beginning with its arrival from England in 1752. Yanuck explains how it cracked, the attempts to repair it, and how it is maintained today. There is no mention of current issues (court rulings on allowing students not to say the pledge), but the books will still serve as useful introductions for students new to the topics. "Fast Facts" begin each book; a time line, a game, a glossary, and a bibliography (including a publisher's Web page with related sites) conclude. Kay Weisman

More About the Author
I have written more than 70 books, most for young people of all ages. "Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman" is the first and still only standalone biography of the young men who dreamed up the world's first superhero; it is an ALA Notable title that received multiple starred reviews and appeared on the front page of "USA Today." My picture book on the "secret" behind the creation of Batman comes out in 2012.
I have written extensively for Nickelodeon Magazine. I'm also a cartoonist whose works has appeared in more than 100 publications including "The Wall Street Journal" and "Forbes." I do not know how to draw sewing machines or SpongeBob SquarePants.
