A Book of Americans

This is a wonderful little book of poetry for kids. Each poem is a minibiography about an important figure in American history. Although many books around the time of publication (my edition was published in the 1960s) do not feature much in the way of important women in US history, this book features several poems about famous women.

These poems shoutd be read in social studies when studying presidents and other famous Americans. The vocabulary is for maybe high school/middle school age students but could be read aloud to younger students.
