I love that Callista Gingrich has taken the time to write American history for children. I read these books to my nieces and nephews when we are together and they love to hear the story. It great because it gives us a way to open up the conversation about the greatness of our America, and why we are here. We love to follow the "eagle" at the turn of every page, and the art is patriotic, whimsey, yet not too childish.Educational: I am reminded of great historical moments, which I end up later google-ing to learn more about the moment.Entertaining: Ellis is a sweet elephant who walks through history with us.Enriching: We add layers of information to our children, its never to early to begin the process of learning of tangible historical facts.For parents or grandparents, its a great gift to the younger generation...and you will ENJOY the time reading this book to them.
My 5 nieces and nephews have loved following Ellis the Elephant in Gingrich's first two books, so there was no question that they would each get a copy of the newest one from their favorite aunt! At a time when our children's understanding of American history and the principles upon which our country was built is more important than ever, these books teach as much as they entertain. I hope the series will continue!
I heard about Callista Gingrich from the radio show interview she was doing. This book is going to be a Xmas present for my grandaughter. I will also be getting the rest of the collection. The book got great reviews from the announcer so i thought I would give it a shot. It's a great way to teach your children about history.
These are great books for our grandchildren. The pictures are very engaging and the stories are done well. Our children need more history written in such a way that they enjoy reading it just like any other children's book. jj
My boys loved this book. They are 6 and 8, and in first and third grades. First they chuckled over the illustrations, which really drew them in. They loved the prose of the story, each of the boys enjoy poetry.The book really touched home when they heard the Revolutionary War part. They have an ancestor who fought in that War, and have been to visit the monument in Oriskany, NY.It is so important that they don't take this country for granted and lose it's history. We talked about the different things that led to the War. They know they have relatives who came on the Mayflower...yes John Alden. This book brought home a lot of things we had talked about in the past. They asked if the tea was drinkable once it was in the ocean...don't think they will forget that point. I can't wait until we can share more of the Ellis books...so important to share how we got our freedoms.I received this book through the Publisher Regnery Kids, and was not required to give a positive review.
I have loved all the Ellis the Elephant Books, also such a great gift to all my nieces and nephews. A great introduction to American History!
Loved this book even as an adult because it gets to the heart of of how we became a nation. I like even better that this is a series that I can continue to buy. Will keep buying this book for my nieces and nephews and special people in my life. It's an inexpensive gift with important American History.
My Nephew loves Ellis! And coming from Philadelphia these books are a special treat for us. Yankee Doodle Dandy is now his new favorite! Thank you Callista for making history fun and interesting. Buy this book for your little ones and you'll both love it!
