Children of all ages are familiar with the alphabet poem; what better way to teach youngsters the principles of liberty? Each letter page features a symbol of the history which the letter represents; a historical flag; a definition from Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary; a verse from the Bible; and a quote from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack. The opposite page showcases related quotes, photographs of archival documents and artifacts, and plenty of facts on American history. The eight activity pages in the back provide a hands-on element to the lesson, and include seals and flags to color, notes on the dollar, how to cut a five-pointed star, and instructions on how to fold a flag. 79 non-reproducible pages, hardcover. Text pages are glossy; activity pages are perforated cardstock.

Packed with colorful illustrations, this entertaining and educational hardcover book uses a simple alphabet poem to guide the reader through the fundamental principles of American liberty.   

Incorporating early 19th century dictionary definitions and enhanced graphics, Bible quotations and Poor Richard’s Almanack, this engaging book adds powerful historic quotes, surprising facts, and truths about our nation’s founding to excite young and old about our country-this beacon of liberty for the world.  Included also are activity pages to further teach young scholars with a hands-on approach-perforated for easy tear-out, these pages may be reproduced on a copier for group use.
