Stories that bring out the flavor of America
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
For a 92-page book, this has a lot of American trivia/history. With large print, line illustrations, and short chapters ranging from "The State that wasn't there" to "The Heavy Pants of Mr. Strauss," it tells snippets of history in an interesting way for children. Would be especially good to read aloud to young children to help them get interested in history. Best chapter? Probably "How the Hole Got There," about doughnuts!
