IT’S THE DAWN OF AN IMPORTANT NEW DAY IN AMERICA. YOUNG READERS, GRAB THE REINS AND JOIN RUSH REVERE, LIBERTY THE HORSE, AND THE WHOLE TIME-TRAVELING CREW IN THIS PATRIOTIC HISTORICAL ADVENTURE THAT TAKES YOU ON AN EXCITING TRIP TO THE PAST TO SEE OUR REMARKABLE NATION’S MOST ICONIC SYMBOLS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL!“Rush Revere here, along with my chatty horse, Liberty! Wait a minute . . . Liberty? Where did he go?” “Reporting for duty, Captain Revere!” “Liberty, where did you get that spinach smoothie?” *Slurp* Well, he certainly didn’t get it from 1787—that’s where we’re rush, rush, rushing off to next with our enthusiastic young friends in the Time-Traveling Crew (but not before causing a major security incident at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.!) A funny case of mistaken identity and a wild chase through the busy streets of Philadelphia will lead us to the famously introverted Father of our Constitution, James Madison, and the heated secret debates over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Fast-forward a few years, and we’ll help his brave wife, Dolley, risk her life to save an important portrait from the White House as the British set Washington afire! What greater symbol of our exceptional nation’s hard-won freedoms than the Star-Spangled Banner, sewn by American icon Betsy Ross? Perhaps Francis Scott Key can explain what inspired him to pay tribute to our glorious flag by writing our beautiful national anthem. But watch out for the bombs bursting in air, because when we reach 1814, we’ll be front and center at a major battle to defend our liberty. Jump back in the saddle with me, Rush Revere, and the Time-Traveling Crew, as my trusty horse, Liberty, takes us on another flying leap through American history into a past teeming with heroes and extraordinary citizens who have so much to teach us about patriotism. All you need to bring is your curiosity about the birth of our democracy—I’ve got plenty of tricornered hats for everyone!

My 11 year old daughter absolutely loves this series. She isn't a lover of reading, but has requested each book of this series. She loves the humor and especially the talking horse Liberty. I know she is also gaining very important American history knowledge as well. It is definitely worth the purchase.
Having bought the first three books before they came out for the grandchildren (and myself), I immediately ordered this edition as soon as it was available and I ordered four copies! WHY??? These books are first and foremost, more understandable and historically accurate about our national history than any other children's (or adult) book. The story line is unique and very easy to read, the quality of the paper is most excellent and will last for many years. Whether you like Rush Limbaugh's politics or not, these historically accurate four books make an outstanding children's series that any grandparent, parent, or teacher should consider giving for the holidays or just any time. Keep them coming Rush!!!
Ditto of my feelings about and reviews of his earlier three books in the Rush Revere Children's Series. It's great for the kids to learn the truth about American History. Hi Ho Liberty! The time traveling horse transverses the fog of revisionist history once more to experience the real story.
I bought this for my Great-Grand Nephew...But I first, being a lifelong avid reader and author, I carefully inspected the book to determine its quality. I'm happy to report that, in this age of cheaply produced pulp books, this book is of the highest quality. My nephew's birthday is approaching and I plan to purchase the other books in this series. After reading several chapters I determined that the historical material was presented with great accuracy and in a manner that minors will understand and hopefully appreciate.
My family is learning so much as we have listened to all four books in this audio series (This is the 4th.) I admit that I kind of loathe celebrity children's books and was reluctant to look at these but these books are well-written, funny and informative. He presents lots of well-researched information about American History (in this case the War of 1812 and the story of our national anthem) in the context of students who time travel with their teacher and a talking horse named Liberty. He also weaves in other contemporary themes such as having a parent deployed in the military, bullying and having a loved one with a terminal illness.My son, a bright but reluctant reader, began listening to these last year in 3rd grade and was laughing out loud. Loved them! He actually wanted to know more about Henry Knox and read a biography after listening to the 2nd book. These books are wonderful! (I am learning things, too!) Rush Limbaugh's audio performance of his work is charming as well. (He's very funny!)
We highly recommend this series of books. Accurate American history written in a way that makes it come alive and pop off the pages. We received the fourth edition today and 6-yr. old can't wait to start it. These are high quality books - not cheap paper - that will last for generations, I don't know how they produce them for such a price ($12.15 on ) and made in the U.S.
While the cover portrays the bombing of Fort McHenry and implies a War of 1812 content, most of this book focuses on the creation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.This book is funny: kids love Liberty. The pickle scene is a winner. The book, like all of this series, is a bit hokey: lots of bad puns and grounders. But when kids are laughing, they are learning.Two scenes from the War of 1812: Mrs Madison rescues Washington's potrait, and being with Francis Scott Key for the writing of the poem that became the National Anthem. Vivid scenes which kids will remember, both.Also includes a good tour of the monuments/buildings in Washington, D.C. (National Archives, Washington Monument, Supreme Court, White House, Lincoln Memorial, Congress) and An excellent, memorable explanation of Constitutional powers and checks/balances. Even touches on the original sin of slavery.Well done.
An almost "must give" gift for kids these days who are no longer taught anything much about the Founding Fathers or how our country came to be.......other than the fact that some of our early Founders owned slaves and are often now depicted as "evil old white men" despite founding at the risk of their lives this great country we are so far privileged to live in. Too bad people like our current President and the two Democrat candidates running for office seemingly want to continue to tear apart the greatness that we barely remain.I HIGHLY recommend that everyone that still loves this country as it was when most of us grew up gives this as a gift to every child that is or will be attending public schools at least as they are currently being operated.
