According to the publisher "The American Symbols" series explores the places and things that symbolize freedom and democracy in the United States and the series explores and supports standards under "The History of the United States," as required by the National Center for History in the Schools. The books follow a good pattern. There is a table of contents, a fast facts page, the text and a timeline, hands-on activity, words to know with a pronunciation guide and a listing of books and web sites. Actually, the publisher has set it up so that kids go to their site and type in the ISBN number, title or keyword from the book and the "Fact Hound" will bring back appropriate information. When I tried that for this book three sites came up--one with a dot-to-dot image of the bell and plenty of facts; then a trip to the Liberty Bell virtual museum complete with musical accompaniment; and finally a visit to the official site prepared by the National Park Service. The book also has a brief index. The Liberty Bell was made in England and it cracked the first time it was rung. It was repaired several times and was rung again in 1776 to announce the Declaration of Independence. The last time it rang was in 1846 to celebrate Washington's Birthday but the crack grew worse and the bell has not rung since. It has toured the country and is currently on display at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. "Each Fourth of July, the Liberty Bell is gently tapped with a rubber hammer. The bell is struck to honor America's freedom." The book is well laid out with just enough facts to hold kids attention. Each colorful spread has a photograph or reproduction of a historical document. A useful and informative book for classrooms and libraries even without the web links. 2003, Capstone, $18.60. Ages 5 to 8., This series, American Symbols, introduces children to a variety of topics relating to U.S. history and patriotism. Liberty Bell is a simple history of the icon, beginning with its arrival from England in 1752. Yanuck explains how it cracked, the attempts to repair it, and how it is maintained today. In The Pledge of Allegiance, Nobleman describes Francis Bellamy's creation of the loyalty oath in 1892 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus' voyage and how it has changed, including its addition to the U.S. Flag Code and traditional recitation in schools across the country. Generously illustrated, mostly in color, with photographs, charts, and maps, the texts are brief and to the point; print size is large, and each chapter is confined to a double-page spread. There is no mention of current issues (court rulings on allowing students not to say the pledge), but the books will still serve as useful introductions for students new to the topics. "Fast Facts" begin each book; a time line, a game, a glossary, and a bibliography (including a publisher's Web page with related sites) conclude. See Series Roundup for more titles.
