Summary: THE ABC'S OF AMERICA
Comment: I buy many children's books for my young niece and nephew so I am always looking for ones that are educational as well as enjoyable.
AMERICA: A PATRIOTIC PRIMER is a colorful, well-written picture book that offers young readers an alphabetical introduction to historical highlights and prominent people in the American saga.
This is a unique book because it also allows parents to share with their kids fun facts and patriotic images which will open the door to family discussion about what makes America great. I can't wait to send this book to my young relatives.

Summary: America: Words of Inspiration
Comment: As an 11 year-old, I like to read chapter books rather than picture books and
magical thrillers instead of history primers. When "America: A Patriotic Primer" was
brought to me by my mother, it did not look like the kind of book I normally enjoy. Upon
her insistence, I reluctantly started to read it. By the second page of the introduction, I
was hooked. The introduction explains in strong words why Mrs. Cheney wrote this
book, why we should honor and be proud of those who helped our country -- George
Washington, James Madison, Henry Clay, Fredrick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.-- and how important it is to teach children the amazing roots of
this young country. The illustrations seem to bring the words alive, giving them all the
more importance. The quotations by famous Americans, though, are my favorite part - I
never knew it was Thomas Jefferson who said, "I cannot live without books" or that
Ronald Reagan gave us "I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn
ahead." It's like the thrill of reading Shakespeare and coming across lines that are so much
a part of our language, like "To be or not to be," and suddenly being awakened to their
real origin. From "A is for America, the land that we love," to "Z....Strong and free, we will
continue to be an inspiration to the world," this book is full of interesting facts, beautiful
pictures, and inspirational words that, hopefully, this country will remember forever.

Summary: The ABC's of the USA.....
Comment: Join Lynne Cheney and Robin Preiss Glasser as they take you on a alphabetical history lesson in America: A Patriotic Primer. Ms Cheney's short, letter by letter text is a bit dry and uninspired, as in "C is for the Constitution that binds us together", "O is for the Oath new Americans take", or "U is for United States", and her simple explanations tend to be more preachy than informatiive. It's Ms Glasser's incomparably, bold, busy, and exuberant artwork that really make this book a winner. Each page is filled with detailed illustrations, creative borders, famous quotations, anecdotes, clever fun facts, trivia, and more. Young and old alike will enjoy poring over and exploring each fascinating and inventive page, and you're sure to find something new and exciting each and every time you open the book. Perfect for children of all ages, parents and teachers should use America: A Patriotic Primer as an introduction to famous Americans, historical events, and important ideas, to whet the appetite and send kids out looking for more.
