Customer Reviews

This is a great book.
I am a public school music specialist in an early childhood learning center. I teach 3 and 4 yr old children. In this day and age, literacy is very important and mandatory, even in our curriculum. The children love pictures and these pictures have so many words. This book has the children wondering about our beautiful country and how vast it truly is.

My Country Tis of Thee - Does Country Justice
For those parents who have forgotten some of the words to this inspirational song or for children who are learning this song or want to know more about the meaning of "My Country Tis of Thee" words, I would recommend this book.

There are pictures, paintings and real-life photographs throughout the book, depicting significant events in U.S. history. One example, when versed "Land of the Pilgrim's Pride", we see paintings of what I would presume to be the Mayflower (distinctly recalling the sight of it) and another painting of Pilgrims setting foot on land.

There are depictions of voters, mountains, U.S. flags, the Liberty Bell, the Bill of Rights and just about anything American.

It is a short book. It hasn't any descriptions of the pictures, just the words to this song.

Scholastic-my country tis of thee
The book is great as a visual when teaching the song. However, it is a Scholastic reader book and it has poor binding. The soft paperback starts to rip at the bindings after a couple of showings to a class. Otherwise, the book is fine!
