This picture book has very colorful photos of our country and our fellow citizens. The pages are spread by the breaks in text that we know from reciting the pledge orally at school. Children are from different races. Scenes from all over America and even an astronaut on the moon holding the American flag are depicted.In the back there are small photos that were depicted in the book with explanations about where they are and other factual information to explain the contents of the photographs. The entire pledge is rewritten in the back pages and an explanation of who wrote it, why, and when. The meaning of why we recite the pledge is given. Facts about the American flag's changes over the years and facts about the proper way to display a flag, and on what days, are included.A beautiful book with great information that every child should be exposed to.
My students are immigrants or children of immigrants learning English. They have to say the pledge every day but may get the words wrong and certainly don't comprehend it. This book takes out some of the guess work and helps them understand what is going on and what people are saying. It brings them comfort and relief.
This book is beautifully illustrated with photographs that are sure to spark discussion. The text (the Pledge of Allegiance) is broken into meaningful phrases that make the reader reflect on the words that we sometimes rush through or take for granted. I highly recommend purchasing the big book version for lower grade classroom use. A gem!
FANTASTIC book to teach your child our Nation's Pledge of Allegiance! The awesome thing abpout it too is that there is a list of dates in the back that inform you of dates the flag should always be hung, LOVE IT!
I bought this for my grandchildren, one of which is homeschooled. Every American needs to know the pledge of allegiance, so he has to recite it every morning before starting his work. Scholastic puts out good material.
This bright and colorful book is a great way to introduce your young American reader to the Pledge of Allegiance. The clauses of the Pledge are presented one to each two pages – printed large and accompanied by several large and highly entertaining pictures that accompany the thought behind the words. Great!After the Pledge, there are pages explaining it line-by-line, and then some great information on the American flag. This is a very nice book, one that you will be proud to share with your young reader. My family highly recommends it to yours!
At first glance I was impressed with this book -- the bright colors, the beautiful scenery. Then I got to the page "WHAT DOES THE PLEDGE MEAN?" In the line "One Nation Under God" is simply defined as "The United States cannot be divided." No mention of God. Not to mention there are those who believe states may legally secede from the union. And the line "With Liberty and Justice for All," their explanation could also be questionable ("All American should have the same freedoms and should be treated fairly"). Firstly, freedom and liberty have different definitions. And to be just, is not necessarily "fair." To me this sounds like tolerance and social justice. Perhaps Scholastic should leave the explanations to the adult reading the book. I questioned ordering this because it was Scholastic, thinking how could they mess this up? Now I know.
The text is the spoken pledge, and the photos show America -- the people and places and landmarks. Beautiful photos -- did I already say that?Facts at the back -- every family with a kindergartener should be equipped with this book.
