Colorful and fact filled, this book will entertain the littlest and the biggest readers of the bunch.

I feel like this is a politically correct America ABC book, it is random with Holidays, places, people and things. Don't worry they did include baseball, you know cause what's more American than baseball. I did like all the pictures.

Some odd choices in this book, like B for Baseball when A is Abe Lincoln, and P for peanut butter and jelly. I feel those could be better represented. My 2 yr old and 4 yr old mostly enjoyed it though.

[Dylan Teut]

Cannot recommend. Reinforces negative stereotypes about indigenous people on a double spread- S is for Sacagawea; T is for the first Thanksgiving.

[James]

Some of the word choices seemed odd. Not the best word choices for the America theme...

I read this book for virtual storytime in honor of Patriot Day. I recommend it!
