"Kids Learn America! Bringing Geography to Life With People, Places, and History" by Patricia Gordon and Reed C. Snow, 1999

$6.00

“Geography and history are about real people in real places, spicy tastes and pungent smells, moments of pride and moments of shame, the land and how we care for it, how we work and how we play. So come along on a fascinating journey across the USA!

Meet Eleanor Roosevelt, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Sally Ride, Michael Jordan, Jim Thorpe, Walt Disney, Cesar Chavez, W.E.B. DuBois, Andrew Carnegie.

Just imagine going on a NASA mission from Cape Canaveral, battling at Gettysburg, being a Cherokee on the ‘Trail of Tears’, joining the players in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, playing jazz in New Orleans.

Make your own log cabin from Illinois, a papier-mache car from Detroit, a Georgia peach cobbler, and create your own backyard state.

Promise yourself to build with Habitat for Humanity, volunteer for the American Red Cross, visit Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, and honor America’s diversity by extending a welcoming hand.

Kids Learn America! is a celebration of the triumphs of the human spirit. It beckons all kids to learn from America’s past and to participate in its future.”

Paperback, some minor wear. No major issues.
