Oh, no! Not another book about the Liberty Bell, and at first glance, a rather juvenile-looking one, at that. But--this is an excellent book! Themed as if taking a tour at Liberty Bell Center in Philadelphia, it is appealingly illustrated with broad, earth-tone water-color pictures, giving it the edge for a show-and-tell read -aloud. The text is large, clear and diversely well-defined. The history of the bell is pointed out clearly, simply and concisely; a glossary helps out for those unfamiliar terms. Every reader is sure to learn something they had not known from this fun and interesting book! By the value of this book alone, I would not hesitate to purchase all the books in the American Symbols series for library or classroom.
Tour guide, Clara, takes this book's readers through a history of the Liberty Bell, from its creation, to the Revolutionary War, to its last ring, and the nation's bicentennial. This piece of history and its simple, easy to read story, is a great resource for children ages 5-8.
I bought this book for my nephew who is 7 years old and learning about the different US landmarks and he loved it! It was perfectly put together for a child who is reading but may be a little challenging for those kids just starting to read. I had to help him with a few difficult words. All in all this is exactly what I was looking for.
This is a great book for learning about the Liberty Bell. It's not in a storyline format, but the images are great and the information is accurate. This is a great tool for the younger students learning about Philadelphia, PA and the Liberty Bell. Great book.
Great book for teaching patriotic symbols to my kindergarten class. Have shared it with other teachers in my grade level.
Great book for learning about our Americn history. Very good condition.
Nice, simple book for kids detailing the history of The Liberty Bell.
