This book spurs your children onto success!
It collects little stories of high achieving Americans starting with their childhood, making it more relatable to the young ones. The phrases are simple and the author hyphenates all long words.
Learning to read is like climbing a steep hill, and it is a great relief to the panting child to find frequent breathing places.
The book ignites your children's passion for reading through stories of Benjamin Franklin, teaches them courage and loyalty through anecdotes of John Stark, and instills in them sympathy and perseverance through narratives of Longfellow. Every story has a moral value, and there are many historical figures to learn from, both men and women.
There are many illustrations that bring history to life, and a few poems that would leave even an adult smiling at their witty rhymes.
Too many pennies for a whistle
Is what we all pay, you and I,
Just for a little foolish pleasure
Pay a price that's quite too high.
Adults can enjoy reading this as well. It is fascinating to discover how our perspective of these characters has changed over time.
The exploits of discoverers, the triumphs of American inventors, and the achievements of men of letters and men of science, find place in these stories.
