Betsy Ross: Designer of Our Flag

I think that these books are a great way to get kids interested in the people who helped shape our country to what it is today, our freedom, power and our faith. It is simple, easy reading for about second-third grade beginning level. They are full of fun interesting things about the person. I think the whole set of these books should be in every library especially at elementary schools. I myself have enjoyed them and learned alot I didn't learn when I was in school.

The author does a good job at portraying what type of a person Betsy Ross was. It is written in a story form which is better because I think children will be more interested in reading it. There isn't much information about her creating the flag until the last chapter however it is enough to give children an idea of what she did for our nation.

I liked the book because it made me excited to learn about history. I felt like I was her-- when she was happy, I was happy. She did alot of neat things in her life. She liked boats and sewing. I learned about Besty Ross.

I READ THIS BOOK TO MY 7 YEAR OLD SHE HAS A GREAT LOVE FOR HISTORY AND SHE HAS REQUESTED EVEN MORE ON BETSY ROSS DUE TO THIS BOOK SHE LOVED IT! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AS A START ON THE JOURNEY TO OUR HISTORY.

I love the book but the title is wrong. Betsy Ross really wasn't the designer of the flag. She was just asked to sew the flag because of her great talent in sewing. I read this book because I went to the Betsy Ross house and thought she was really cool. When I read this book, I felt like I really knew her. She is so interesting having 3 husbands and surviving through the war between the British troops and George Washington's Continental army. I think that I'd like to know about her later life more.
