Written in story form, this book is more educational than leisure reading, but still interesting! It introduces snippets of our country’s history that children might not have heard before–and in a simple, straightforward manner. Even the parents will likely learn a new fact. 😉
It might go over the heads of lower elementary ages, but it’s good for the rest of elementary.
Also included are a bonus recipe (that can be altered to fit different likes and allergies) and a fun craft idea.
