None.  KellyLPickett | Apr 4, 2013 |  This book features from A-Z different events, people, ideas, and cultures of the United States history. With each letter, there are illustrations and texts that corespond. (  ) dbcollin | Nov 11, 2012 | Review: "America-A Patriotic Primer" is an informative book that takes the reader through the highlights of our nation's history that have allowed us to have the freedom and rights that we do today. Each letter of the alphabet highlights a certain noun or adjective about America and gives a brief description along with colorful illustrations. Genre: Informational Genre Critique: This book was a great example of an informational text because it talks about the steps that our country has taken to gain the freedom that we really do have today. jbeliel10 | Oct 22, 2012 | Age: Intermediate Genre: Informational Review: This book incorporates facts of US History in an alphabet book, with one aspect of United States history assigned to each letter of the alphabet. Therefore, it teaches the alphabet and history at the same time. Media: Water color shellybjorklund | Mar 21, 2012 | This is your typical A to Z book for younger readers. This book chooses to focus on America for its topic. Each letter is beautifully illustrated with colorful artwork along with simple to the point text. Each letter brings up an appropriate image to tie into the greater topic of america. Each page shows positive images that are great for younger students. At the end of the book, notes for each letter help to expand upon the information provided so that parents can discuss with their children what they are learning. A nice way to get younger students interested in their countries heritage. Better suited for elementary students. Older students will find it to childish and not gain anything from the book.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0689851928, Hardcover)Written by Lynne Cheney, author and wife of Vice President Richard Cheney, to honor this "beautiful land made more beautiful still by our commitment to freedom," America: A Patriotic Primer is a proud celebration of the individuals, milestones, and principles of this nation. Each busy spread features elaborately decorated letters of the alphabet, with one or two kids draped over its bars and loops, along with the highlighted concept or person: "N is for Native Americans, who came here first," "T is for Tolerance." Surrounding every letter is a veritable circus of entertaining and useful related information, illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser (Alexander, Who's Not (Do You Hear Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move). "J is for Jefferson," for example, is bordered with biographical details and quotations from Thomas Jefferson, while mini images depict the third president's famous home (Monticello), some of his inventions, and a description of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. This compelling picture book will work best as a supplement for children who are already immersed in basic American history at school. Teachers and parents will enjoy exploring with their kids every inch of the detailed, hand-drawn and illustrated U.S. map found in "U is for United States," explaining and elaborating on the historical lessons as appropriate. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:19:16 -0500) Each letter of the alphabet is represented by important people, ideas, and events in the history of the United States. |
