Synopsis
Children see Proud to be American signs on cars and in windows everywhere. Yet have they any idea what the words really mean? Do they understand why they pledge allegiance to the flag, sing The Star-Spangled Banner, and celebrate the Fourth of July? Do they know why the Liberty Bell was rung, who lives in the White House, or why the Statue of Liberty holds a torch? It is the aim of Symbols of America to explain, in an engaging manner and with words young readers can readily understand, the origins and meanings of America's greatest symbols

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5–These titles give historical background and meaning to several symbols that are covered in the social-studies curriculum. The language is easy to grasp, and the books contain just the right balance of objective, unbiased facts and good-quality current and archival photographs and illustrations. Each title has three succinct chapters; the page numbers of important graphics are set in bold type in the helpful index. A Find Out More section includes books and Web sites. The sites in Bald Eagle include educational games, activities, and additional information and photographs, and those in Capitol offer varying degrees of more in-depth historical material and virtual tours of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Ellis Island and Uncle Sam sites are either weak in content, too commercial, or not active at the time of review. These titles would make interesting supplements to curriculum textbooks and are particularly good for beginning report writing.–Wanda Meyers-Hines, Loudoun County Public Schools, Ashburn, VA
