Bookworm List- Books to Celebrate the 4th of July

Hi all, this is a new feature to the blog.

So today at 4 pm for K-5 and families, we are having a four days early 4th of July celebration ( because like most public places, we will be closed on the 4th since is a federal holiday).
Here are some books for celebrating our Nation's birthday ( 235 this year, standing strong):

  • Journey of One and Only Declaration of Independence- Judith St. George: In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. But would you believe this important piece of parchment had more homes than a traveling circus? Find out in this incredible story.
  • On the Day the Tall Ships Sailed-Betty Paraskevas:  Follow a bald eagle as he flies in the sky as ships of all shapes and sizes sail into New York Harbor on Independence Day.
  • Happy Birthday, America- Mary Pope Osborne: Join a young boy and his family at a small town American celebration with a pet parade, fireworks, and more.
  • Revolutionary War on Wednesday- Mary Pope Osborne: Using the Magic Tree House, Jack and Annie travel back in time the American Revolution and help General George Washington cross the Delaware River.
  • Judy Moody Declares Independence-Megan McDonald: After befriending an British girl and learning about the American Revolution during a trip to Boston, Judy Moody decides to write her own Declaration of Independence in hopes of getting more freedoms, like her own bathroom and a higher allowance.
  • Meet Felicity-Valerie Tripp:  Nine-year-old Felicity rescues a horse from a cruel owner in Williamsburg in 1774. 
  • Yankee Doodle America- Wendell Minor: Learn about the American Revolution through the alphabet.  
  • Jake Johnson: Story of a Mule- Tres Seymour: Poor Farmer Puckett! His new mule refuses to move an inch and the fireworks need to be delivered to the town. Is the 4th of July celebration doomed?
Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!! Keep reading!!
