[Kaitlyn Day]

Summary: This book is a great multi-cultural book about how the song “God Bless America” was made. It tells the heart-warming story about the man who made the song. It gives several facts about how the guy was actually from Russia and was an immigrant to America.

Evaluation: I think this book was truly heart-warming and told the life story of an immigrant. The pictures in the book were colorful and beautiful and really portrayed the story line well.

Teaching: I would use this to teach a social studies lesson about America and immigrants, especially if I had immigrants in my classroom. It would be a great way for the students to connect to immigrants while also learning an important part of America’s history.

I love when my Dad sings this book to me. I do NOT like it when my mom sings this book.

This book has the words of Irving Berlin's classic song with cute pictures of a bear family that learn about patriotism and the beautiful country we live in. I think it's really cute.

I bought this book at a discount store for .50 cents. What a great find, it teaches Irving Berlin's God Bless America and the book is accompanied by a cd to teach children how to sing it as well.

Not a fantastic book. Would be good to teach kindergarten the song and what the song is talking about.

This book is so fun to read and sing to kids. My 2 year old daughter loved it and could sing it right on key. It was a fun way to learn the song by looking at the pictures.

Simple illustrations - not easy to sing along to for a music class as you have to turn the pages so quickly.
