My children and I love
this book. When we were stationed in
Vicenza, Italy, Mrs. Cheney visited the elementary school where she read her
book to our son’s class. He has an
autographed copy of the book which he treasures. This is an alphabet book for children who
already know their alphabet, so I feel it can be used to build on that
knowledge. Children will learn important
facts about America, the land that we love, and her history. Each page is dedicated to a letter. For example, the letter K is in the center of
the page and is represented by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The edges of the page are framed with an
abundance of information pertaining to Dr. King. The illustrations are beautiful. Teachers and
Parents can use this book to teach their children more about our country and
its rich and diverse history.
