F Is For Flag (Reading Railroad Books)
Wendy Cheyette Lewison
Grosset & Dunlap, 2002
June 14 is Flag Day, but with so many American flags proudly displayed, every day seems like Flag Day. Perfect for reading together with a young child, F Is for Flag shows in simple terms how one flag can mean many things: a symbol of unity, a sign of welcome, and a reminder that-in good times and in bad-everyone in our country is part of one great big family. Illustrated by Barbara Duke

Steven Kroll
Scholastic Press, 2000
A superb telling of the story of the Star-Spangled Banner
+ Informative with Great Illustrations
+ Rich, vivid, outstanding
I think the vast majorities of stories I have heard about how Francis Scott Key came to write the words of "The Star Spangled Banner" begin with Key being held as a prisoner on a British ship during the attack on Ft. McHenry. In "By the Dawn's Early Light: The Story of The Star Spangled Banner," ...

A picturebook worthy of the highest recommendation
