This was an easy read. I read it to my students in the morning after saying the pledge. They were interesting in knowing about the flag. We were able to do an activity and make our own flag. The facts were simply written. I actually learned a few things myself. ( )

I thought that this book was great for a couple of reasons. The illustrations were very realistic and I like that diagrams and a glossary were added in the story. This gives students great visuals to better understand the story. I liked the writing style of this book because it written in a story and didn’t simply state facts. I found the writing engaging and interesting, as most children don’t know how the flag came about. The plot was quite interesting and I enjoyed learning about what the American flag used to look like before the one that we have today. The overall big idea of this story was to teach children about Betsy Ross and how our American flag came about. ( )
