This short, first-step reader on Independence Day was a great read for primary readers. I liked how it was informational about the history and some general facts about holidays that can help transition younger kids from reading mainly fiction short stories to nonfiction, without upping the reading difficulty too much. The illustrations were colorful and well done to keep the reader's attention on the page. I discovered there are more books on different holidays like this one and I think it would be fun to introduce them to the kids and have them read different ones as those holidays as approaching!
