I bought this book as a gift for my master teacher. Every morning she sings a patriotic song with her class and she likes to hold up a book with the words while they sing, so this book does the job. It is a pretty weak paperback, but you get what you pay for. It's nice that is has the whole song and not just the first couple of verses that everyone knows.
For those parents who have forgotten some of the words to this inspirational song or for children who are learning this song or want to know more about the meaning of "My Country Tis of Thee" words, I would recommend this book.There are pictures, paintings and real-life photographs throughout the book, depicting significant events in U.S. history. One example, when versed "Land of the Pilgrim's Pride", we see paintings of what I would presume to be the Mayflower (distinctly recalling the sight of it) and another painting of Pilgrims setting foot on land.There are depictions of voters, mountains, U.S. flags, the Liberty Bell, the Bill of Rights and just about anything American.It is a short book. It hasn't any descriptions of the pictures, just the words to this song.
I am a public school music specialist in an early childhood learning center. I teach 3 and 4 yr old children. In this day and age, literacy is very important and mandatory, even in our curriculum. The children love pictures and these pictures have so many words. This book has the children wondering about our beautiful country and how vast it truly is.
This book was totally useless and disappointing. I wanted a picture book to help introduce and teach this patriotic song to my young students. This was NOT it.I was able to get a refund very quickly with no hassle. (Thank goodness!)
I taught music to kindergarten, first and second graders. Patriotic songs were part of my lessons. I would teach them phrase by phrase and discuss the words, so the students would know what they were singing about. This book has wonderful illustrations that help to explain the words. Classroom teachers and parents could use this to reenforce the words. This is a song that they will sing all of their lives.
We love the book. I've been using it to teach my 5-year-old son the song. It has some good photos in it that have started other discussions...the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, etc. And the song itself raised some questions with my son..."Did somebody's father really die here?" "What do they mean 'Pilgrims' pride?'" It's a great picture book from Scholastic, and I'm very pleased with it.
The book is great as a visual when teaching the song. However, it is a Scholastic reader book and it has poor binding. The soft paperback starts to rip at the bindings after a couple of showings to a class. Otherwise, the book is fine!
wonderful book, great pictures
