I Pledge Allegiance, Paperback/Bill Martin

Descriere

"Finally, here's a picture book that helps young children move beyond rote recitation of the Pledge to find meaning in its language. This is the book parents and teachers have been waiting for." BOOKLIST (starred review) "I led a pigeon to the flag" . . . "and to the wee puppet" . . . "onenation, and a vegetable" . . . What was that again? Children in the United States have been reciting the Pledge of Allegiance since 1892 and for about that long, they've found its big words confusing. Now, beloved children's book author Bill Martin Jr (BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE?), fellow literacy expert Michael Sampson, and Caldecott Honor-winning artist Chris Raschka give America's children a hand, and explain this patriotic poem once and for all. A new paperback edition offers notes and suggested activities to help parents and teachers make this book even more interesting to and fun for children."
