About this ebook
Teach your young readers about the alphabet and America’s colonial history & early government in this charming picture book.
From the Boston Tea Party in 1773 to the first reading of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776, this comprehensive alphabet book chronologically follows the citizens of the thirteen colonies and their fight for representation. Ruled from afar by King George III of England, the colonists rebelled against his tyranny to declare a new nation.
Through historical descriptions, character profiles, and engaging artwork, young readers will learn how America achieved its freedom. As the Americans march toward liberty, author Catherine L. Osornio guides children through C is for Continental Congress, which was formed to defend the rights of the colonists, to R is for Revolution, which brought about a change in government. The ringing of bells and the blasting of cannons accompany the Declaration’s completion as the citizens of America announce their right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Super Cute book that goes through each letter of the alphabet with a corresponding thing regarding the declaration of independence. This would be great for children learning the alphabet or learning about the declaration of independence. Such letters are S is for signatures and J is for Thomas Jefferson. Each Letter and "thing" has a small description underneath and lovely illustrations.
