[Rod Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another simplistic book in a very simplistic series. This one just tells you how to do the Pledge of Allegiance, offering no historical background or mention of changes to the text over the years.

The Pledge of Allegiance book is a perfect book to use with the starting out readers. They can use this book to read the meaning of the pledge. I would use this whole series in my history lessons.
