This series does a crackerjack job of exploring the back stories of
some of America's most beloved documents and monuments. . . .With
one concise paragraph and a few illustrations per page, these
titles are ideally suited for early fluent readers. . . .this
series does offer a colorful, engaging presentation.-- "School

Top 10 Series Nonfiction. Readers receive two lessons in one: the
history of an iconic symbol of the U.S. (the flag, Statue of
Liberty, etc.) and instruction on how to learn through primary
sources. The use of archival images and documents reinforces the
series' goals admirably.-- "Booklist"
