This book includes daily readings that are American history-related. I read them aloud at the breakfast table to my 9 yo ds and 14 dd. All three of us appreciate the selections. We've read about Susan B. Anthony, George Washington and Ronald Reagan. We've enjoyed reading speeches, primary document selections and quotable quotes. Our most recent readings have included learning about the Amistad and Iwo Jima. Not only do we learn from the selections, the readings also provoke interesting discussions at the breakfast table. I highly recommend the almanac. ( )
