BUYING ADVISORY: EL – OPTIONAL

KID APPEAL: LOW

Wood creates a tapestry of all of the different things that are part of being Americans. Sayles illustrations add depth and interest to Wood’s narrative.  Besides traditional qualities that you might expect, he does include ideas like Americans disagree and Americans fight and Americans make mistakes.  If you need another patriotic book or a book to start a patriotism discussion, here is a decent option.
