Reader Reviews
It's simple, if you love our American flag, this book is a must have. I loved it from start to finish. It's a great history lesson for students learning about individual states and their flags or of our collective history but mostly it is a beautiful photographic document of the flags of our country's history. Have you ever seen a flag with 18 stars or 24 stars, a flag that represents the state of Illinois with only 21 stars. That is the uniqueness of this book. Don't miss out on this great book, especially if you have a child that loves American history.
