Obv a little too high but decent introduction to the song. paraphrased. Tea was interested

[J. Jefferson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great introduction and explanation of the national anthem for young students. Colorful pictures, simple text, brief informative captions, musical score, additional activities, a glossary and index, and links to more resources make this a great read.
